This two-semester lab-based course will meet and exceed the high school level biology course standards and is equivalent to a college level course for those anticipating to be non-science college majors. Students who enroll should be academically prepared to do college work. This course will include the understanding of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, animals and plants, ecology, evolution, embryology, biotechnology, human systems, and a vertebrate dissection. Instructional shifts include analytical reading and writing, applying mathematics and attention to modeling.  The second semester of this course must be taken for DMACC credit, and therefore, places an emphasis on the DMACC Life Science Standards for BIO 104.
