3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: BIO 234 or equivalent, CHM 251 Molecular and cellular basis of immune phenomena with emphasis on experimental foundations of current models. Differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, cell-cell interactions, antibody structure and function with underlying genetic rearrangements, mechanisms of resistance to disease and immune dysfunction, including AIDS. Understanding of research techniques and research process is promoted.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: BIO 234, 244 The methods and research that support models of cell function at the molecular level. This three credit lecture course will present current advanced research methods in molecular biology , those used to study the expression and regulation of genes, and the laboratory research on the macromolecules involved. Students will read and paraphrase current literature in the field of molecular biology. In addition, graduate students will present two typical reviews of current problems in molecular biology, both as written expositions and as interactive lecture presentations to other class members. Pre- and post-presentation interviews with the instructor are also required.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 314, 420 or 437 Natural selection theory applied to diverse problems in evolutionary biology including the levels of selection, adaptation and optimality models, kin selection, recognition systems, cooperation and altruism among non-relatives, co-evolution, mutualism and parasitism, specialization, sex ratio evolution, genetic conflicts, the evolution of sex, sexual selection, parental care, life history evolution, game theory and animal contests, group living and social organization in birds and mammals.
-
4.00 Credits
3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory Prerequisites: MTH 102 or 111 or equivalent, upper division biology standing Statistical concepts for the planning of experiments and the summarization of numerical data. Lectures emphasize probability, testing of hypothesis and the application of different, statistical concepts and problems.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Biology Core An advanced study of mechanisms of eukaryotic cell function for students interested in medical or research oriented careers. General areas of focus include internal cellular organization and interactions between cells and their environment. Lectures emphasize experimental perspectives and analysis of current literature in select topics
-
3.00 Credits
Modes of inquiry, methods of research and experimentation, and teaching strategies. This course is designed for future teachers of Biology. Graduate students enroll concurrently with students in BIO 435 but do additional work. Only MAT graduate students take this course as BIO 635.

0.00 - 9.00 Credits
Hours will be arranged.
n advanced research project in an advanced student’s field of general interest conducted under the supervision of an appropriate staff member, in the form of independent research leading to the solution of a problem.
-
0.00 - 9.00 Credits
Continuation of BIO 440. An advanced research project in an advanced student’s field of general interest conducted under the supervision of an appropriate staff member, in the form of independent research leading to the solution of a problem.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: BIO 333 or permission of instructor A historical perspective of the concepts leading to the present theory of gene structure and function. The rigorous experimental evidence supporting this synthesis is reviewed by extensive reading and discussion of original publications. Particular emphasis is placed on papers published since 1940 and having direct bearing in elucidating the structure and function of the gene.
