3.00 Credits
This laboratory accompanies BIOL 130. Included in this class are exercises in quantitative methods, biochemical processes, organismal diversity, and vertebrate anatomy and physiology. One and one half laboratory hours per week. Co- or prerequisite: BIOL 130 or equivalent. One laboratory hour per week. Credit, 1 hour. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to the construction and definition of scientific and medically related terms. Emphasis is placed on Greek and Latin roots, suffixes, prefixes, and combining forms that comprise the vocabulary of a biological scientist. Special emphasis is placed on pronunciation and spelling. Two lecture hours per week. Credit, 2 hours. Offered spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended for students who have a limited background in biology and related sciences and may not be used to satisfy hours for the biology major or minor. General biology is a survey of important concepts, principles, and processes of biological science. Course topics include the nature of scientific thought; biomolecules; cell structure and function; vertebrate anatomy and physiology; organismal diversity; evolution; and ecology. Students who did not have a chemistry or physical science class in high school are encouraged to complete a college level physical science class before taking General Biology. Three lecture hours per week. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the ecological aspects of biology with special emphasis on the scientific principles that underlie current environmental issues. Topics will include the development of modern environmental ethics, fundamental concepts of ecology, the geophysical nature of the earth, and analysis of selected environmental problems. Special emphasis will be placed on climactic change, resource management, population growth, and preservation of biodiversity. This course may not be used to satisfy the requirement for the biology major or minor. Three lecture hours per week. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory course in anatomy. Topics of study include structure of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Credit, 4 hours. Credit does not apply to the major or minor in biology. Offered fall semester.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory course in physiology. Topics of study include cell metabolism, cell division, protein synthesis, and an overview of the physiology of the body systems. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Credit, 4 hours. Credit does not apply to the major or minor in biology. Prerequisite: BIOL 243 or consent of the instructor. Offered spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This course serves as the final third of the introductory sequence. Topics covered include Mendelian and population genetics, evolution, ecology and behavior. Prerequisites and corequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Credit, 4 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This course allows the student to pursue an in-depth study of some topic that is not covered in the existing biology curriculum. This may include topics from biology history or current relevant topics in biology (e.g., medical and health issues, ethical issues, etc.). Three lecture hours per week. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
Gamete formation; oogenesis and spermatogenesis; cleavage, blastulation, and gastrulation; organogeny and development of the nervous, digestive, excretory, circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, and reproductive systems; and formation of the extraembryonic membranes. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132. Credit, 3 hours. Offered spring semesters, even years.
-
3.00 Credits
History, definition, and aspects of genetics. Topics range from the molecular basis of heredity to the cellular, organismal, and population levels. Modern Mendelian genetics, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics are included. Laboratory experiences include both classical and modern techniques including DNA sequencing, PCR, and nucleic acid hybridization, Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132 and 245. CHEM 242 and 211 are strongly recommended. Credit, 4 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
