-
3.00 Credits
Discusses the biology, history, ecology, and social impact of human plagues, including AIDS, smallpox, polio, bubonic plague, tuberculosis, leprosy, the impact of the Irish potato blight, and emerging human pathogens. The biology of pathogens and the human immune responses are treated in detail. Discusses the impact of molecular biology on curtailing the impact of diseases. For nonmajors. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the basic principles of genetics, human pedigree analysis, and how genetic diseases affect DNA, RNA, and proteins. Considers implications of this research for medicine and society. For nonmajors. Recommended prereq., good background in high school chemistry and biology. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Discusses the molecular and cellular bases of non-infectious human diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, depression, osteoporosis, and diabetes. Provides a basis for understanding "molecular medicine," i.e., treatments and prevention strategies based on knowledge of the genes and molecules that are altered in the disease state. Prereq., MCDB 1041 or instructor consent. Recommended prereq., strong background in high school biology and chemistry. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
4.00 Credits
A web-based, in-class discussion and online laboratory course covering the fundamental properties of biologic systems. Focused on common evolutionary, ecological, molecular and cellular mechanisms, the course provides a thorough introduction to the biological sciences. Credit not granted for this course and MCDB 1150 or 1151. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers biologically important macromolecules and biological processes, together with an introduction to cell structure, function, and physiology. Provides the foundation for advanced MCDB courses to majors, and a rigorous overview of modern biology to nonmajors. MCDB 1151 must be taken concurrently by MCDB and biochemistry majors and prehealth science students. Prereq., high school chemistry and algebra. Coreq., MCDB 1151 for majors. Credit not granted for this course and MCDB 1111. Meets MAPS requirement for natural sciences: lab. Approved for arts and science core curriculum: natural science.
-
1.00 Credits
Offers one two-hour lab per week designed to acquaint students with research techniques and concepts in molecular and cellular biology. Topics include cell structure, function, physiology, and recombinant DNA. MCDB 1150 must be taken concurrently. Credit not granted for this course and MCDB 1111. Meets MAPS requirement for natural sciences: lab. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers basic concepts in biology and scientific processes. This course is especially suited for future K--6 teachers. Characteristics of life, genetics, evolution, ecology and the human body are emphasized in a constructivist, student-centered, hands-on format. Prereq., two high school science courses at college-prep level. Recommended prereq., ARSC 2110 or GEOL 2110. Same as ARSC 2115. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the behavior of genes and chromosomes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Covers three areas: transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and population genetics. Attention is given to genetic mapping, recombinant DNA procedures, and gene expression. MCDB 2151 must be taken by MCDB or biochemistry majors and prehealth science students concurrently or when next offered. Prereqs., MCDB 1150 or 1111 or EBIO 1210 or general biology. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
1.00 Credits
One two-hour lab per week. Provides hands-on experience with principles introduced in MCDB 2150. Topics include mitosis, meiosis, classical genetics, complementation, mutagenesis, DNA replication, natural selection, and evolution. Prereqs., MCDB 1150 and 1151. Coreq., MCDB 2150. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
May be repeated for credit, but only 8 hours of MCDB 2840 plus MCDB 4840 can be counted toward graduation. Students with adequate prerequisites should take MCDB 4840. Prereqs., instructor consent and independent study contract. Coreq., MCDB 1150.
