BIO-100B Explorations in Biology: Frankenstein Fish
A thematic course exploring five fundamental features of all biological systems, including structure and function, information flow, energy and matter, interactions, and evolution. As humans continue to exploit the ocean’s resources by overfishing, aquaculture and mariculture have become more and more important to meet human demands for fish proteins. This course will examine overfishing, genetically modified/engineered foods, and animal cloning and engineering to introduce fundamental concepts of ecology, ecosystems and conservation biology, genetics and molecular biology, and ethical issues.
