Corequisite(s): BIO1025L
Fulfills: STEM requirement in the LS Core.
3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab
Note: All non-Biology and non-Biochemistry students should take BIO 1025. BIO 1025 will be considered equivalent to BIO 1027 for Biology majors who take BIO 1025 after their first year. BIO 1025 will also be considered equivalent to BIO 1027 for students who are re-taking BIO 1027. Students who take BIO 1025 before declaring a Biology major, will receive credit for the course as equivalent to BIO 1027.
