This course strongly emphasizes the development of learning and reasoning skills, an understanding of the nature of biological
inquiry, and key concepts in evolution, ecology, and organismal biology. These include the meaning and significance of biodiversity
and current issues surrounding it, the evolutionary processes through which biological diversity originates and is interrelated,
the complexity of organisms and the importance of physical organization and regulatory processes, and the nature of interactions
among organisms and between organisms and their biotic and abiotic environments. Students lacking Grade 12 or 4U Biology should
consult with their program counsellor prior to taking BIOL*1070 in first semester.
