4.00 Credits
The course is designed to give students a background of animal, plant and bacterial viruses with further emphasis on animal viruses. Topics covered will inlude but are not restricted to, replication strategies and life cycle, molecular mechanisms of infection, virus host interactions, viral evasion of body's immune response and various pathological conditions. Laboratory exercises will include growth and isolation of virus, plaques assays, DNA cloning and expresssion of heterologous gene using a viral vector. Upon completion of the course, students will have a knowledge base useful towards medical or other health related careers. Lecture and laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will focus on the basic characteristics and identification of the primary vertebrate tissues, as well as their organization into organ systems. Where appropriate microanatomy will be integrated with organ functions. Examination of microscope slides, light micrographs, and electronmicrographs of tissues and organs will be used in the study of vertebrate histology. Lecture and laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to how the concepts of ecology have been developed for and applied to plant systems. This course is an extension of General Ecology and emphasizes not only the ways in which general principles have been applied to plants, but also concepts and methodology unique to plants. Lecture, laboratory and fieldwork.
-
4.00 Credits
By studying the biology of algae, students will increase their undestanding of the complex ecological interactions of algae with their environments, the roles that algae have played in the evolution of life, and the increasing uses of algae in biotechnology. There will be several sampling trip to wetlands, lakes, and streams, including a Friday or Saturday fieldtrip outside of Cook County. Students will design and conduct original research projects involving identification and study of algal taxa. Lecture, laboratory and fieldwork.
-
4.00 Credits
Students will study the biological processes that occur in freshwaters, the measurement of those processes, and the interaction of biological processes with water chemistry. Students will learn to collect quantitative ecological samples through field work in area lakes and rivers and they will analyze the biological organisms and related water chemistry of their samples upn return to the lab. Students will design and conduct original research projects. there will be severa field trips, including a Friday or Saturday field trip outside of Cook County. Lecture, laboratory and fieldwork.
-
3.00 Credits
Geographic distribution of living organisms and the biological and geological principles underlying this distribution. Lecture only.
-
4.00 Credits
Field and laboratory methodology for the ecologist. Includes instruction on experimental design, quantitative sampling, data acquisition and interpretation as well as the preparation of project reports. Lecture and laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
Functions and interrelationships of organ systems. Lecture and laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed for upper level undergraduate and graduate students, builds on General Genetics, and emphasizes human mecial genetics. Topics covered include but are not restricted to: known human genetic disorders; use of karytoyping, microsatellite analysis and sequencing in the diagnosis of genetic disorders; use of pedigrees, epidemiological and molecular studies in the identification of genetic contributions to multifactoral conditions and diseases. Lecture and laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
Chemistry and metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, vitamins and minerals associated with animal and plant life. Lecture and laboratory.
