Organisms in their Environment - BIOL 1008

This course examines the diversity of life on earth from the origins of life through the evolution of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.  Using a phyletic approach to classification, the major taxonomic groups of organisms are introduced, including prokaryotes, numerous protists, plants, fungi, and animals. Features that adapt these organisms to their environment are emphasized using Darwinian evolution as the underlying principle. Pre-requisite: Biology 30.

Note: Restricted to Arts and Sciences Diploma, Environmental Protection, Therapeutic Recreation and Open Studies.
