Describe form and function of skeletal muscle and cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, excretory, immune, and respiratory systems, using the human system as an example. [BIOL 1011] Provide examples of how biological interactions (competition, predation, mutualism) structure communities [BIOL 1011]
Compare and describe Linnaean system of classification and evolutionary phylogenetics [BIOL 3301] Describe the body plans of the 34 metazoan phyla focusing on invertebrates [BIOL 3301] Describe the morphological and meristic characteristics of different phylogenetic groups of fishes and identify the divergent characters that differentiate them.
