BIO-109 Biology of Reproduction
This course provides an overview of major topics
in reproductive biology that include sex
differentiation, male and female anatomy,
environmental factors that influence
reproduction, contraception, and the hormonal
control of different stages of reproduction such
as puberty (sexual maturation), reproductive
cycles, pregnancy and childbirth. The course
primarily focuses on human reproduction but other
animal groups will be discussed when appropriate.
NOTE: When the laboratory (BIO-109L)is offered
with this course, it is a required corequisite
course; the combination of the lecture and
laboratory will fulfill the laboratory
requirement of the human biology and natural
science minors.
Corequisite: BIO-109L
Corequisite
BIO-109L must be taken concurrently with BIO-109.
