How is life developed? The birth as an individual and the birth as a seed are explained. Birth means death in the future.
We will also talk about the death of life, death of cells, and life sciences and technology to overcome it.
Science understanding life phenomena is biology, and understanding of biology is essential for understanding life sciences.
The purpose of this class is to study wide and basic areas in biology. Study of 【Biology I】 , which will be implemented later,
will help you to understand the contents of biology in general.
- To be able to understand ontogeny and phylogeny
- To be able to understand the relationship between environment and life
- To be able to understand the disease development and the progress of science and technology to overcome them

Grades are evaluated based on the results of 40% for the middle exam, 40% for the final exam and 20% for the mini test. A
total score of 60% or more means passed. The exam covers printed documents, additional documents, lecture notes and oral comments.
You could get 80% in the exam, if you fully understand the content of the lecture.
Textbooks is not used.
Printed document will be distributed, or students have to print documents downloaded from the share folders individually (one of which is indicated during the lecture).
