BIOL1012Biological Principles, Part II3 ch (3C)

Evolution provides the theoretical framework within which biologists work.  Through a quantitative lens, this course 1) discusses the mechanisms of evolution and speciation; 2) surveys the biological diversity that results from these processes; and 3) describes a variety of metabolic, behavioural, and ecological processes that relate to survival and reproduction. Note: Students intending to major in Biology must also take BIOL 1017. Credit will not be given for both BIOL 1012 and 1019.

Prerequisite: BIOL 1001 or 1009.
