Title
Discuss Connections
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to discuss similarities, differences, and evolutionary connections between cyanobacteria, algae, bryophytes, non-seed vascular plants, gymnosperms, flowering plants, and fungi with respect to their lifecycles, characteristic morphologies, and biological roles
Title
Evolutionary Logic
