Life operates at the level of the cell. In this course, students will examine the cellular and molecular mechanisms common to all life. Topics will include the structure and function of cells in the context of the inheritance, regulation, and evolution of genes and genomes. Students will also consider the connections between molecular and cellular mechanisms and organismal functions, such as acquiring energy, coordinating cell activities, and maintaining homeostasis.
