Subject:

Description:

This course, with Biology 1911 (H101) or Biology 1111 (0101), makes up the introductory series for Biology majors. Both courses in the series must be completed with a grade of C or better before students will be allowed to take the second level of required courses in the Biology curriculum, Biology 2296 (2203, 0203) and 3096 (W204). Biology 2912 (H102) is designed to be taken in the fall of the sophomore year. This course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics. Topics covered include the structure of important biological macromolecules, enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, photosynthesis, cell changes during mitosis and meiosis, DNA replication, transcription, translation and genetic analysis.

Note: (1) This course can substitute for Biology 2112 as part of the introductory series for Biology majors. There are weekly laboratories. (2) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Science & Technology Second Level (SB) requirement. To determine if this course in combination with another course can satisfy the GenEd Science & Technology requirement, see your advisor.
