Description
BIO 0151 and BIO 0152 together form a five semester credit hour lecture-laboratory course in general biology designed for Biology majors or Middle or Secondary School Education science majors. It focuses on three theories: cell theory, gene theory and evolution theory. The courses do not have to be taken concurrently, although that is recommended for Biology and Teacher Education majors. The course introduces students to the principal concepts, ideas and developments in the biological sciences to provide a sound and general basis for understanding information, principles and concepts related to scientific inquiry, the nature of matter and energy transfer, cells, heredity, aspects of reproduction and development, the origin, evolution, and diversity of life.
