Where BIOL-4501 counts
Counts toward 6 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course examines the molecular basis of, and the regulatory mechanisms involved in, cellular differentiation, the interaction of cells during the formation of tissues, growth, and aging in animal development.
Requisite courses
BIOL-3221 [prerequisite(s)]; BIOL-4501L (lab) (must be taken concurrently); BIOL-2301 and CHEM-3502 and CHEM-3503 (recommended prerequisite).
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
