Prerequisites
To follow this course, it is necessary to master the knowledge and skills developed in the courses LBIO1112 et LBIO1234A
Main themes
This activity is one of the three integrated animal biology activities. It addresses reproductive biology, with a focus on mammals, and animal development, with the early development of several model animals and organogenesis in mammals.

Content
- Gametogenesis, fertilization, zygote segmentation
- Early model development: C. elegans, Drosophila, sea urchin, sea squirt, zebrafish, xenope
- Early development and organogenesis in mammals: face and pharynx, musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, digestive system, cardiovascular system, urogenital system, nervous system and sense organs.
Teaching methods
Participatory Lecture: Students are stimulated to raise questions and solve problems during the sessions.
Details of the practical work/exercises to be specified at the beginning of the activity, they will consist in seminars given by invited pseakers. A short report will be produced by the students following the seminars.

Evaluation methods
Oral examination in three parts, with short preparation time.
Three questions drawn at random. One question for the first part of the course (reproduction), and two others for the second part (development: animal models; development: organogenesis).
Oral discussion on the three questions and then discussion without preparation on several specific elements of the course.
In case of a severe failure to one of the questions, the overal mark might reflect this as a failing grade.
In case invited speaker seminairs are organized, the student report will be evaluated and will account for 1/10th of the final mark.
