BOT XXXX |
Survey
of Plant Diversity |
3
credits |
| Covers
the evolutionary relationships, natural history, ecological adaptations,
physiology, morphology and reproductive biology of gymnosperms
and angiosperms. (3 hr. lecture)

|
BOT XXXX L |
Survey
of Plant Diversity Lab |
1 credit |
| This
course is designed to provide the necessary laboratory experiments
and dissection exercises to supplement/accompany the BOT-XXXX,
Survey of Plant Diversity lecture course. This laboratory course
explores the plant kingdom and gives emphasis on structure, function
and genetics of plants. Appropriate dissections and laboratory
exercises are designed to explore the fundamental cell and tissue
structures of both vascular and non-vascular plants. Prescribed
laboratory activities focus on plant morphology, taxonomy, anatomy,
and physiology of selected representative specimens. Co-requisites
