  • BIOL 122: Introduction to Genes and Development

    3.00 Credits
    California Lutheran University

    This course introduces the mechanisms of heredity, the expression of genetic information and the means by which genes encode developmental programs. It will be seen that genetics and development are part of a continuous process and that the genetic mechanisms and developmental patterns of living organisms reveal a fundamental kinship of life on earth. Genetics as a tool for the study of biological problems will be introduced, as will some current topics in genomic research and biotechnology. Students willing to explore these topics in greater detail are referred to upper division courses in Genetics, Macromolecular Structure, Developmental Biology, Cell Biology and Molecular Biology. No prerequisites. Recommended: Biology 120,121 (offered fall semester)

  • BIOL 123: Introduction to Biological Experimentation I

    2.00 Credits
    California Lutheran University

    Biology 123 introduces students to the processes of investigative biology and communication. It is not designed to accompany any particular core lecture course. The course is designed to develop the skills students need to progress as young scientists: forming and testing hypotheses, scientific observation, interpreting results, experimentation, analysis and communication of scientific discovery (both oral and written). Laboratories cover some topics presented in some of the core lecture courses (Bio 120, 121 and 122) and introduce a variety of techniques including field sampling, statistical analysis, classification of organisms and physiological measurement. The course emphasizes experimental design, data collection, statistical analysis, integration of results with information reported in the scientific literature and the effective communication of conclusions. Evaluation is based on short lab assignments and scientific papers. A laboratory manual must be purchased. There are no prerequisites. Enrollment is limited to 16 students in each section. (offered fall semester)

  • BIOL 124: Introduction to Biological Experimentation II

    2.00 Credits
    California Lutheran University

    Biology 124 continues to expose students to the processes of investigative biology and communication. It is not designed to accompany any particular core lecture course, but should be taken after Biology 123. Laboratories cover some topics presented in some of the course lecture courses, Biology 120, 121 and 122 and introduce a variety of subjects including virology, gene expression, gene sequence analysis, gene manipulation and bioinformatics. The course emphasizes experimental design, data collection, statistical analysis, the integration of results with information reported in the literature and the effective communication of conclusions. In line with the philosophy of our inquiry-based curriculum, Biology 124 culminates in an independent project module, where students design and conduct their own experiments, analyze data (statistically, where appropriate) and present their results in both written and oral communications. Evaluation is based on short lab assignments and scientific papers, students will plan an oral presentation of their independent project. A laboratory manual must be purchased. There are no prerequisites, enrollment is limited to 16 students in each section. (offered spring semester)
