Pre-requisite: 62101
The nervous, endocrine, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory and renal systems of animals are introduced. This is followed by a study of plant reproductive processes and secondary tissue formation and an overview of plant physiology. We next examine the concepts of cell reproduction, Mendelian genetics and the formation of proteins from genes. Finally, we explore evolution - the process by which organisms change over time. A four day residential school is a compulsory part of the course.
