The student must also attend a minimum of lO seminars during the senior year. Guest lecturers and faculty members may present papers at the invitation of the instructor. Required of all science and mathematics majors. Prerequisite: Senior classification and attendance of a minimum of 10 seminars during the sophomore and junior years. BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE 71- 114 Introduction to Biology - A 5 hours Structure and function of plant and animal cells with emphasis on central concepts. This is the first biology course for majors; it may be taken by others with good preparation in high school biol– ogy and chemistry. Four lectures and one 2-hour laboratory per week. 71-115 General Zoology - W 5 hours A survey of the animal kingdom and of zoological principles, with an introduction to anatomy, physiology, and classification. Three lectures and two 2-hour laboratories per week. Prerequis– ite: 71-114 Introduction to Biology. 71-134 General Botany -A 5 hours A study of basic functions and structures of plants beginning with the algae and fungi and finishing with the flowering plants. The methodology and techniques of plant science are empha– sized. Four lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. Pre– requisite: 71-114 Introduction to Biology. 71-212 Invertebrate Zoology - W 5 hours A survey of representative invertebrates to include morphology and relations.
