| Goals | Classification of the living and place of animals in this classification, identification, structure, function of different organs, range, hosts, biology, behavior, breeding and growing, examination of relations between each other and habitats and learning the animals which have the forests as habitat. |
| Course Content | • Understanding the concepts of zoology and knowing the importance of zoology • Getting information about the basic principles of taxanometry and classification of the living • Learning the place of animals in the classification • Understanding the species concept and speciation • Learning the genetic structure and inheritance in animals. • Learning what is animal diversity and defining different animal phylum properties. • Defining different reproduction (Asexually and sexually) and growing principles (embryological development phase) in animals. • Ecologic, economic, aesthetic and scientific importance evaluation of animals. |
