| Course description |
| This course provides students with the fundamental concepts and principles of biostatics. We lecture, at first, the phylogeny and taxonomy of life from the viewpoint of evolutionary history, and then, the morphology and physiology of the plants and animals, and discuss the amazing mechanisms of structure and function. We also comment on the relationship between those organisms and human life. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students who successfully complete this course are able to explain the fundamental concepts, morphology, physiology, and related applied agricultural researches on animal and plant.

| Prerequisites |
| This class is for the students of Rn (Department of Ecoregion Scinece). Students entering this course are assumed to have obtained the credit for TATⅠ "Biology". |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
| The texts on Moodle2014 are based on Campbell&Reece "Biology", 8th and 9th English original editions, and on the Japanese translated version for the 9th edition. |
| References |
| Reference books are displayed at the TAT Recommended Books Corner in the Library. We may introduce you some references in our lectures. |
| Assessment/Grading |
| 80% (12/15) or more attendance at the class and 60 or more points in the examination are needed to obtain credit. |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| With the help of Moodle2014 and Campbell&Reece Biology, please make an aggressive preparation and review of the class. We hope you, like a university student, to acquire a manner to learn by yourself. |
