Biology is a survey of the diversity of life, including all six King doms, viruses and prions.
We wil l also discuss local examples of different organisms, how they impact our lives , and conservation problems confronting major groups. Lectures on viruses, and prokaryotes, in particular, will assume students are familiar with the basics of cell biology. Highly motivated students should be able make up deficiencies, but see me during the first week if you have not had BI 111. Lecture outlin es, review questions, and old exams will be available on the course homepage. E xam questions are often very detailed and will require attendance and good n ote-taking in lecture.
