  • Plant reproduction and development - Alternation of generations in ferns, conifers, and flowering plants, Gamete formation and fertilization, Growth and development: hormonal control and Tropisms and photoperiodicity.
  • Structure and function in animals with emphasis on vertebrates - Major systems (e.g., digestive, gas exchange, skeletal, nervous, circulatory, excretory, immune), Homeostatic mechanisms and Hormonal control in homeostasis and reproduction.
  • Animal reproduction and development - Gamete formation, fertilization, Cleavage, gastrulation, germ layer formation, differentiation of organ systems, Experimental analysis of vertebrate development, Extraembryonic membranes of vertebrates, Formation and function of the mammalian placenta and Blood circulation in the human embryo.
  • Principles of heredity - Mendelian inheritance (dominance, segregation, independent assortment), Chromosomal basis of inheritance, Linkage, including sex-linked, Polygenic inheritance (height, skin color), Multiple alleles (human blood groups)
