Biology 111 • My expectations of you: • Course Outline • Biology 111 Course Outline
What do you know about…. • …the most important event in your life • Gastrulation • "It is not birth, marriage, or death, but gastrulation, which is truly the most important time in your life." Lewis Wolpert (1986) • Gastrulation • ….characteristics of life • Composed of cells • Movement • Metabolism • Reaction to stimuli • Food • Excretion • Reproduction
