This course is a dual credit course which also serves as BIOL 1240 at St Louis University for biology majors. BIOL 1240 is the first semester of the two-semester Principles of Biology sequence, and is primarily focused on the core concepts of information flow and storage as well as evolution. Students will learn about the chemical and molecular basis of life, cell structure and function, gene structure, expression and heredity, reproduction, development, and evolution. As they learn concepts in biology, students will practice reasoning scientifically about real-world problems and applications.
