1.00 Credits
This is the second semester laboratory of a two semester Biology sequence intended for biology/science majors or students looking to transfer laboratory science credits. This laboratory component is intended to provide students with experiential learning in support of concepts and principles introduced in the lecture class. Prerequisites: BIO 123.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed for first year students preparing for a career in the medical field. The areas that will be covered are histology, integument, the skeleton and articulations, muscles and the nervous system. It is strongly recommended that students taking this course have recently taken a biology course. Prerequisites: ENG 080, ENG 090, and MAT 050, High School or College laboratory science.
-
1.00 Credits
This course supplements the lecture course in Anatomy & Physiology (BIO 130). The concepts covered in lecture are explored in greater detail using a variety of aides, models, prepared slides and preserved specimens. The general format of the course will follow the lecture. It is strongly recommended that students taking this lab have recently taken a biology course. Prerequisites: ENG 080, ENG 090, and MAT 050, High School or College labaratory science.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of BIO 130, building on many of the fundamentals. Emphasis will be on the cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, special senses, endocrine, digestive, urinary and lymphatic systems. Prerequisites: BIO 130 and BIO 131.
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory work in this course is devoted to studies discussed in BIO 132.
-
5.00 Credits
This course will familiarize students with invertebrate life of the sea. Emphasis will be placed on natural history, identification, anatomy and ecological relationships. Wherever possible, local specimens will be used in the laboratory. Prerequisites: BIO 111 or BIO 124 and BIO 125.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introductory science class designed to introduce biology majors and non majors to the field of biotechnology. Biotechnology is a discipline generally based on recent advances in the field of recombinant DNA technology. It may be defined as any technology that uses living organisms or parts of organisms to make or modify products. This definition opens up the field to many thousands of years of human experimentation from wine and cheese making, to animal and plant breeding programs. The course will emphasize the applications of the various technologies including molecular genetics, microbiology, immunology, and cell biology in human society. Laboratory work, outside speakers, and field trips will be used to supplement lecture presentations. Examples of Biotech projects and companies in the State of Maine will be emphasized. Prerequisite: MAT 020.
-
3.00 Credits
The two major branches of genetics, molecular and classical genetics, are studied in detail. The first half of this course focuses on studying structure and function of genes at the molecular level, including discussions on recombinant DNA and DNA analysis techniques. Classical, or Mendelian, genetics encompasses the second half of the course and centers on transmission of traits from one generation to the next. Other topics include transposable elements, bacterial and viral genetics. Lectures include active learning exercises where student groups work on a diversity of genetic problems. Prerequisites: BIO 122 and BIO 123. Co requisite: BIO 202.
-
1.00 Credits
This lab course provides students with hands on activities in both molecular and classical branches of genetics. Selected topics from BIO 201 will be studied by means of group and individual projects. Topics include: molecular genetics, recombinant DNA, DNA analysis techniques, Mendelian genetics, trait transmission, transposable elements, and bacterial and viral genetics. Co requisite: BIO 201.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a one semester course in which basic principles of general ecology are discussed. Sampling techniques are described and practiced in laboratory exercises. The impact of limiting factors, biological clocks and biogeochemical cycles on organisms studied during ecological research is heavily stressed. Where appropriate, marine organisms and ecosystems are used to demonstrate these concepts. Prerequisites: BIO 111 or BIO 124 and BIO 125.
