3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of classical parasitology, with emphasis on parasites of major medical/veterinary importance. Topics covered will include basic principles of parasitology, life cycles, epidemiology, host-parasite interactions, host-parasite population dynamics, drug treatments and vector control programs.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the animal phyla emphasizing morphology, life histories, ecology, evolution, behavior, and coordination of structure and function.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the development, structure, and function of human chemical, cellular, tissue, and organismic organization, with special emphasis on integumentary, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, and CNS/PNS neurological systems. Laboratory exercises supplement classroom work.
-
4.00 Credits
Biology of the immune system including structure and function of antibodies, antibody-antigen interactions and the cellular and physiological consequences of the immune response. Laboratory exercises use modern techniques to reinforce lecture material and may require additional time outside of the scheduled lab hours.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of land plants, with emphasis on the ecology, field identification, economic importance, and natural history of these organisms. Laboratory exercises supplement classroom work.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuing study of the developmental, structural, functional, and metabolic aspects of human chemical, cellular, tissue, and organization, with special emphasis on ANS/ENS neurological, endocrine, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory exercises supplement classroom work.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to plant physiology, including biochemical, genetic and developmental aspects of the plant life cycle. Topics include: photosynthesis, respiration, metabolism, water relations, plant hormones, embryogenesis and early development, flowering, stress physiology, response to pathogens and plant genetic engineering.
-
3.00 Credits
Origins of life-mechanisms and processes of organic evolution stressing evidence from population genetics, systematics, paleontology, and comparative physiology; biochemistry; the evolution of humans and human culture.
-
4.00 Credits
The course covers concepts and methods related to information processing in biological systems. Concepts covered include homology, identity and similarity; mechanisms and measures of molecular evolution; introduction to data bases; search algorithms; pairwise sequence alignment using dynamic programming; progressive methods for multiple alignment.
-
4.00 Credits
The course covers use of homology to extract information about structure and function from amino acid, DNA and RNA sequences. Concepts covered include structural homology, structural motifs and databases, homology modeling of macromolecules, energy minimization and relaxation, molecular docking, and introduction to molecular dynamics.
