HBIO 112 - Systems Biology

Credit Hours: 4

HBIO 112 is one of the three-semester introductory sequence (HBIO 111, 112 and 114) required of biology majors. The prerequisite for this course is either HBIO 111 or HBIO 114. You must successfully complete (final grade of C or better) HBIO 111 or HBIO 114 prior to taking HBIO 112. HBIO 112 consists of both lecture and laboratory components. The lecture part of the course is divided in five modules: Inheritance and Evolution (Mendelian genetics and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium), Domains of Life (evolutionary unity of life and the characteristics of the three domains, and viruses), Animal Diversity (developmental biology and animal body forms), Homeostasis and Control (temperature, hormonal systems and nervous systems), and Physiological Systems (muscle function, circulatory systems, respiratory systems, and immune systems).

Prerequisites: HBIO 111 or HBIO 114; C or higher
Co-requisite: HBIO 105L
