| This course will foster an understanding of key concepts in molecular and cell biology and genetics including evolution, relationship
between structure and function, energy and regulation, interrelatedness of life, and the nature of science. By relating these
concepts to their daily lives, through analysis of problems and tutorial discussions, students will develop an understanding
of five central themes: 1) all living things share common properties, 2) the cell is the fundamental functional unit of life,
3) managing energy is central to success, 4) genes are the fundamental information unit of life, and 5) heredity. Students
lacking Grade 12 or 4U Biology should consult with their program counsellor prior to taking BIOL*1090 in first semester.
