    Continues the competencies taught in BIOL 101. This course emphasizes basic life functions of animal systems as it provides a detailed examination of organ systems which, in the mammal, support homeostasis. In addition, this course presents the principles of heredity, reproduction and embryology; evolution as a process; and structure, function, and classification of major phyla of the animal kingdom. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: BIOL 101 or the equivalent with a grade of C or higher. Prerequisite:    BIOL 101
