Special emphasis will be placed on biological principles relevant to the modern study of zoology such as adaptation and natural selection, structure-function relationships, and developemental genetics. Students will learn to identify members of major animal taxa as well as the relationships among these animal groups, and will acquire skills in zoological laboratory techniques through field collecting, dissection, and live-organism research projects. Students will be charged an additional Biology Lab Fee when enrolling in this course. Prerequisite(s): Minimum grade of C- in BIO 2040 , BIO 2050 and BIO 2060
