Subject Description

This subject builds on the knowledge gained from Cell Biology I: Cells and Organelles (606-205), and now treats cells as living entities that interact in complex ways to create the tissues and organs of higher animals and plants. Topics will include how cells communicate; how they divide, differentiate and interact to form tissues; and how they express genetic information during differentiation and morphogenesis. Throughout, the subject will emphasise how this information is derived from the integration of biochemical, ultrastructural and biophysical information.

Assessment

A 3-hour written examination at the end of semester.
