-
3.00 Credits
The structure and function of eukaryotic cells, including membrane structure and function, protein trafficking, cell signaling, cell cycle control, cytoskeleton and motility, neurophysiology, and tissue biology. Laboratory exercises include cytochemistry, protein and receptor analysis, and organelle isolation and characterization. Prerequisite: BI 108 or BI 209.
-
3.00 Credits
This seminar offers an historical perspective on the origins of biology. Readings include original primary literature, as well as historical accounts and analyses. Topics include mechanisms of evolution, molecular biology, and infectious disease.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of ecological relationships and adaptations of living organisms. These are explored beginning with an evolutionary perspective of life and a consideration of people and nature, and then moving to a study of ecological patterns and processes at the levels of landscapes, ecosystems, organisms, populations, and communities. Prerequisite: BI 104 or BI 210.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the biology of nervous systems at the biochemical, cellular, system, and whole organism levels. It analyzes the structure and function of neurons, comparative and developmental anatomy of nervous systems, physiology of sensation and motor function, and neuroendocrine influences on behavior. Prerequisites: BI 210 or PS 203.
-
3.00 Credits
Completion of this course in genetics provides an overall understanding of genetic principles including classical Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, and population genetics. Special topics include human genetic disorders. The principles of molecular genetics are also incorporated into the laboratory section of this course. Procedures learned in the lab are used for the mapping of chromosomes, genetic engineering, cloning, and many other biological topics. Prerequisite: BI 210.
-
3.00 Credits
An analysis of development with emphasis on molecular and cellular interactions during developmental processes. Prerequisite: BI 210.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of animal function at the molecular, cellular, system, and organismal levels of organization. Emphasis is on control mechanisms that maintain homeostasis and on system interactions. Topics include cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, reproductive, and muscle physiology. Prerequisite: BI 210.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the student with detailed knowledge of the biology and genetics of viruses. Students will undertake a classification survey of RNA and DNA viruses. The association of each virus with its host cell will be investigated. This investigation is used to understand the nature of the viral infectious diseases, treatments for viral infections, vaccinations, and the use of the virus as a tool in gene therapy. Basic lab techniques for tissue culture, necessary for the propagation of viruses, are demonstrated. Prerequisites: BI 209 and BI 307.
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents immunological principles and applications. Topics covered include the cellular and molecular events behind defense mechanisms of a host, including immunological disorders. Prerequisite: BI 210.
-
3.00 Credits
In this laboratory techniques course, the student will master experimental design and techniques used in the fields of physiology, immunology, and developmental biology and relate these to questions in these fields. The goal of the course is to give the student an in depth experience in experimental design and techniques. Co/Prerequisite: BI 307.
