Objectives of the Course

To introduce biology science and its importance, to give general information about biology, to introduce the main areas of biology and other related areas, to introduce the basic terminology in biology, to talk about the historical development of biology.

Course Content

Meaning, areas, importance, historical development of biology; living and inanimate structures; diversity and classification of living things (prokaryotes, eukaryotes, species concept and taxonomic structures, species concept and taxonomic structure, structure and properties of plants); basic unit of life (cell, cell structure and function, membrane structure and function); cell division (mitosis, meiosis and uncontrolled cell division); tissues (plant tissues, dividing tissue, invariant tissue); plant organs and structures (vegetative organs, generative organs, reproductive, fertilization and development in flowering and flowering plants); an overview of animal diversity (general characteristics of invertebrate animals and chords) and open and closed end experiments on these topics
