About this course

Understanding Intro to Biology 2 for your Newlane credit.

What is Intro to Biology 2?

Intro to Biology 2 is a second-semester biology course that studies how living things are built, how they function, and how they interact with each other and their environments. It covers microbes such as viruses, prokaryotes, protists, fungi, and prions, as well as plants and animals, with attention to body systems, evolution, and basic genetics. The course is a broad survey of life science for students who want a clearer understanding of organisms from the cellular level to whole-body function.

How the course teaches you

Intro to Biology 2 is a self-paced online Biology 200 course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so the transcript reflects completed work rather than seat time. When the course is finished and the transcript is sent, Newlane recognizes it as Natural Sciences GE.

How it helps beyond the classroom

This course builds a basic understanding of how organisms work, which can help in settings where you need to read about health, environment, genetics, or biology with more confidence. At Newlane, that knowledge can support degree plans such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy because the course comes in as Natural Sciences GE rather than as a random elective. It is useful for students who want general-education credit that still connects to everyday scientific literacy.

Skills you walk away with

Explain evolution, inheritance, and ecological systemsDescribe DNA replication, transcription, translation, and gene regulationUse basic biotechnology concepts in genome mapping and sequencingAnalyze adaptations in plants and animalsEvaluate scientific investigations and ethical issues in biologyCompare major groups of organisms, including microbes, fungi, plants, and animalsConnect organ systems to homeostasis in the human body

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you complete Intro to Biology 2, the transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane's registrar applies the course as Natural Sciences GE, which means it satisfies a general-education requirement in the Newlane degree plan rather than sitting outside the core. That can help you move through programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy while staying within Newlane's transfer ceiling of 90 credits. Because Newlane is competency-based and allows up to 75% of degree credit from transfer, this course can count toward the portion of the degree that you bring in from outside the university.

Who this course is for

This course fits students who want a science requirement to transfer to Newlane and prefer a course that already has a general-education match as Natural Sciences GE. It can be a good option for adults finishing a degree or students watching transfer value carefully, since Newlane allows up to 90 credits and up to 75% of the bachelor's degree may come from transfer. It is not the best choice if you need a lab-intensive biology sequence or a course tied to a specific major science requirement.
