New Prerequisite!
Chemistry 103 or 105 are now required prerequisites (not corequisites) for Biology 106X. If you need to take Biology 106 in spring 2006 but do not have the necessary prerequisite, you must contact the instructor to discuss your options.
Overview
Biology 106X is part of a two-semester sequence (105X and 106X) that provides an introduction to the biological sciences. Biology 106X covers biochemistry, cell biology, energetics, molecular genetics, and animal structure and function.
Are you a science major?
Biology 106 is intended for science majors. If you are not a science major and are seeking a course to satisfy either your curiosity about biology or the natural sciences requirement of the UAF core curriculum, you should think carefully before taking Biology 106X. The material and pace of the course is intended for students who intend to pursue a science degree. There are other courses offered by the Biology and Wildlife Department, such as Human Biology (BIOL 100X), Biology and Society (BIOL 103X), and Natural History of Alaska (BIOL 104X), that are intended for non-majors.
