Course description and aims
The aim of this class is to understand the basic subjects of developmental biology. Students will understand the processes and the mechanisms of animal development, morphogenesis, mitosis, meiosis, neurogenesis, and organ formation.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand the processes of animal development, and the molecular background of morphogenesis and organogenesis.
Keywords
Body axis formation, Gastrulation, Mitosis, Meiosis, Neurogenesis, Morphogenesis, Organogenesis
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
When required, students will be given a small test or report as an index of purpose achievement.
