Special Project
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the fundamental principles of classical genetics. Emphasis is placed on Mendelian genetics, linkage, polyploidy and aneuploidy, and the nature of genetic material, as well as basic concepts in population genetics. The laboratory emphasizes probability and statistics and genetic problem-solving using real data collected from Drosophila, corn and other organisms. Prerequisites: BIO 200 and completion of a math course that satisfies the general education requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
This course gives students an understanding of the health sciences, such as medicine, medical technology, physical therapy, pharmacy, dentistry and veterinary medicine. It is conducted as an off-campus, independent study program in which students observe or assist in medical clinics, dental offices, hospitals, nursing homes, veterinary clinics, pharmacies, medical laboratories or private offices. Prerequisite: Eight credits of biology.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the fundamental principles of molecular genetics. Emphasis is placed on DNA structure, gene expression and regulation, genome organization, recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering. Prerequisite: BIO 200.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the function of animal structures, emphasizing the regulation of these functions. The laboratory utilizes computer-interfaced equipment to facilitate understanding of animal functions. Prerequisite: Eight credits of biology, including BIO 100 and 101.
-
4.00 Credits
This course examines the taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, ecology and evolutionary biology of fish. The laboratory emphasizes identification of fish native to Iowa. Prerequisite: Eight credits of biology, including BIO 100 and 101.
