5.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Basic genetic principles as revealed by classical and modern research methods. Patterns of gene transmission; gene structure, function, interactions, and mutation; chromosomal aberrations; nonchromosomal inheritance; biochemical genetics; and population genetics. Experiments illustrating basic genetic concepts, using materials from corn, drosophila, and humans. Usually offered every spring. Prerequisite: BIO-300 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate This course covers the mechanisms of evolutionary change from genes to societies and how natural selection interacts with genetic and population processes such that organisms tend to become adapted to their environment and biological diversity increases. Through readings, discussions, and lectures, students explore the evidence for evolution, as well as current theories for the mechanisms that cause evolutionary change. Includes principles of inheritance, the origin of genetic variation, adaptation through natural selection, random processes in evolution, the origin of species, and the role of macroevolutionary processes in shaping current patterns of biodiversity. Prerequisite: BIO-110, BIO-210, and BIO-356.
-
4.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate This course provides an overview of anatomy and physiology through an integrated study of the relationship between the structure and function of the human body. Focus is on the chemical foundations of life, the anatomy and physiology of the cell, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Clinical applications are presented, which have particular relevance to students preparing for the health care professions. Laboratories provide hands-on training and reinforce material covered in the lecture. Usually offered every fall. Prerequisite: BIO-110; BIO-210 is strongly recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate A systematic approach to the study of the human body with an emphasis on the endocrine, lymphatic, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratories provide hands-on training and reinforce material covered in the lecture. Usually offered every spring. Prerequisite: BIO-372.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Prerequisite: permission of instructor and department chair.
-
3.00 - 9.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Prerequisite: permission of department chair and Cooperative Education office.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Topics vary by section, may be repeated for credit with different topic.
-
4.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate An in-depth survey of plant structure and function, with emphasis on photosynthesis, development, physiology, and evolution. Usually offered alternate springs. Prerequisite: BIO-210 and CHEM-210.
-
4.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Structure, evolution, and physiology of invertebrate animals, including protozoans. Emphasis on helminths and other parasites, medically significant arthropods, and taxa of significance in aquatic biology. Laboratory emphasizes variety of taxa over types. Usually offered alternate falls. Prerequisite: BIO-210.
-
4.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Principles of physical, chemical, and biological oceanography are covered in this course. In addition, readings and discussions are used to critically examine recent findings in this field. Includes the history of ocean sciences, earth structure, plate tectonics, atmospheric circulation and weather, waves and currents, nutrient cycling, marine biological processes, and the impact of human activity on marine processes. Usually offered alternate falls. Prerequisite: BIO-210 and BIO-240.
