This is the second course of a two course sequence. Structure and function as related to the human circulatory, respiratory, urinary, digestive, reproductive, and endocrine systems are studied. Emphasis is placed on the interrelationships of these systems. Topics include Mendelian inheritance, recombinant genetics, the biochemical theory of genetic material, and mutation population genetics, linkage, gene structure and function, and other concepts of heredity. Major groups of vertebrates are studied.
Emphasis is on morphology and evolutionary relationships.
