Biology & Life Science via distance learning

 

How did such an astounding variety of living things evolve on Earth? What makes these bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals? How do living things differ from nonliving things? Part of these questions form the basics of biology and life sciences. We are also living organisms and we have evolved in response to the same basic set of chemical elements. We all share the same processes that allow us to survive. This program explains biological concepts and offers a unified presentation of life and its variation through evolution.

Life Science
This course explores the origin and nature of life, from simple single-cell to complex plants, animals, and human beings. It also covers the diversity and unity in the living world by studying the forms and organization of bacteria and other cells, the specialized structure of the human body, and how the organism is regenerated, maintained, and repaired.
Academic Supervisor: Mohammad Athar

Biology
This course reviews the major areas of biology including cell biology, genetics, evolution, phylogeny, the structure and function of plants and animals, their origin and evolution, their reproduction and genetics, and their diversity and ecological relations.
Academic Supervisor: Josefina García Eguiagaray

Plants Biodiversity
This course explores plant biodiversity and evolution and includes contemporary concepts of plant phylogeny, the origin of land plants through the origin of angiosperms. It emphasizes on morphology, reproduction and evolutionary trends in bryophytes, pteridophytes, and gymnosperms.
Academic Supervisor: Arun Kumar Lahiry

It emphasizes hormonal control mechanisms in metamorphosis, polymorphism, regeneration, and genetic analysis of development.
Academic Supervisor: José Luis Corona Lisboa

Vertebrates
This course presents the biology of vertebrate animals and emphasizes their diversity, adaptations, and evolutionary history. It introduces the mechanisms and control of vertebrate behavior in an ecological context, as shaped by natural selection. It also considers the classical and current theories regarding the genetic basis of vertebrate development, specialized sensory systems, and the organization of responses in changing environments.
Academic Supervisor: José Luis Corona Lisboa

Cell Biology
This course provides an integrated study of the structure, function, and interactions of cells, with an emphasis on their molecular composition and dynamics. Topics covered include: membrane structure and transport; receptors and channels; protein targeting; cytoskeleton; cell cycle control; signal transduction; programmed cell death; cell adhesion and differentiation.
Academic Supervisor: Girish Kumar Srivastava

Animal Biology
This course examines the biological mechanisms that animals employ to survive in a diversity of environments; molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms are discussed in an evolutionary context that emphasizes animals adaptive responses. It reviews the underlying genetic and biochemical regulation of development considering developmental genetics and experimental embryology.
Academic Supervisor: Mohammad Athar
