Kurzbeschreibung | The evolution of the various body-plans is investigated by means of comparison of developmentally essential control genes of molecularly analysed model organisms. |
Lernziel | By the end of this module, each student should be able to - recognize the universal principles underlying the development of different animal body plans. - explain how the genes encoding the molecular toolkit have evolved to create animal diversity. - relate changes in gene structure or function to evolutionary changes in animal development. Key skills: By the end of this module, each student should be able to - present and discuss a relevant evolutionary topic in an oral presentation - select and integrate key concepts in animal evolution from primary literature - participate in discussions on topics presented by others |
