582--DNA to Diversity (4 cr)

Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in BIOL 280.

How do complex morphologies develop from a single-cell embryo? What makes the human hand different from the horse's hoof, the bat's wing, or the flipper of a whale? These and related questions will be addressed as we explore the genetic and developmental basis of evolutionary change.
