From the calendar
Official source · Faculty of Arts & ScienceThe genome is the "book of life," providing instructions to construct an organism. This course introduces genome biology and explores how the building blocks of life are networked into functioning organisms. We will investigate how cells perceive internal and external cues, how gene expression is shaped by this perception, and how these events give rise to tissues, organs, and whole organisms. (Lab Materials Fee: approximately $16). Lab coat and safety glasses are required for use in laboratories; students are responsible for purchasing these items (approximate cost is $27).

What people actually got
Last observed Summer 20257 terms observed
This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.
Per-term figures stay hidden until each term clears five contributors. 7 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 7.

What this opens up
69 courses list BIO230H1 as a prerequisiteShowing 24 of the 38 that have a page here. The other 31 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names BIO230H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what BIO230H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
