Laboratory is included in class activities. A mathematics background is suggested. Completion of Math Course I R is recommended for enrollment is this course. A course of study with a focus in the areas of cytology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, and selected physiological systems. Evolution at the different levels of organization is the unifying concept.
Some independent study is required and a strong interest in Biology is essential.
Prerequisites may be waived in the event of strong student interest coupled with evidence of strong academic performance. Laboratory will be conducted on alternate days. A first year college chemistry course stressing such areas as atomic structure, molecular geometry, Acid Base Theory, and thermodynamics. Prerequisites may be waived if high math and science ability is demonstrated. This course may be taken for joint Regents and Advanced Placement credit.
