5.00 Credits
Microscopic and submicroscopic anatomy of vertebrates. Emphasis on mammals. Light microscopy and interpretation of ultrastructure. Functions of basic tissue types and organs as related to structure. Offered: irregularly.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 220
-
3.00 Credits
Concepts of cellular and molecular biology as applied to human disease. Emphasis on current experimental approaches to investigate disease mechanisms and the contributions of model systems. Selected topics in cancer biology, viral induced disease, gene therapy. Offered: A.
Prerequisite:
either BIOL 202 or BIOL 220; either BIOC 405, BIOC 440, BIOL 355, BIOL 401, GENET 371, or GENET 372
-
4.00 Credits
Explores complexity and diversity of behavior in insects and related invertebrate animals. Overview of important lineages of insects and major behavioral traits. Examines how insect biology both constrains behavior and provides evolutionary opportunities. Offered: jointly with PSYCH 406.
Prerequisite:
either 2.0 in BIOL 180, 3.5 in PSYCH 200, or 2.0 in PSYCH 300.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers genetic aspects specific to plants and algae, including chromosome structure, genome mapping, transposon biology, genes for floral and vegetative development, genetic engineering, ploidy levels, and cytoplasmic genetics.
Prerequisite:
either BIOL 101, BIOL 200, or BIOL 203; either GENET 371, GENOME 371, GENET 372, or GENOME 372
-
4.00 Credits
Comparative exploration of physiological and perceptual mechanisms that control behaviors necessary for survival and reproduction in animals. Model systems discussed include animal communication, mate choice, escape behavior, learning and memory, orientation, biological rhythms, foraging behavior. Offered: jointly with PSYCH 408.
Prerequisite:
either 2.0 in BIOL 180, or 3.5 in PSYCH 200, or 2.0 in PSYCH 300.
-
5.00 Credits
Biological bases of social behavior, emphasizing evolution as a paradigm. Emphasizes how to think like evolutionary biologist, especially with regard to interest conflict. Topics are individual versus group selection, kin selection, altruism, mating systems, sexual conflict, alternate reproductive strategies, and parent/offspring conflict. 5 in PSYCH 200, 2.0 in PSYCH 300, 2.0 in BIOL 162,or 2.0 in BIOL 180. Offered: jointly with PSYCH 409.
Prerequisite:
either 3
-
5.00 Credits
A laboratory-based course where students choose one organism (rodent, Drosophila or plants) on which they carry out a research project throughout the quarter. Lectures cover the basic theoretical background and discussion seminars are based on journal articles directly related to the students’ research projects. Offered: A.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 350 or BIOL 355
-
4.00 Credits

Prerequisite:
either BIOL 355 or BIOL 401
-
3.00 Credits
Normal development of living embryos (frog, chick, insect, echinoderm). Internal anatomy of embryos on prepared slides. Comparisons between vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Scientific style reports on experiments. Offered: irregularly. Recommended background for the following 400-level Latin courses is four years of highschool Latin, LATIN 307, or permission of instructor.
Prerequisite:
