Principles of Biology II (Lab Manual) [BIS 151]
Beth Cliffel · Triton College
The laboratory component of this course is designed to complement and expand on the material presented in lecture. Here you will gain a deeper understanding of how structure and function reflect evolutionary history and key adaptations acquired by each group of organisms. Essential to these labs is careful observation of specimens. You will also have the opportunity to develop and test hypotheses through various experiments that you will be performing.
