-
3.00 Credits
Genetic methods for investigating how genes function in development are presented in weekly lecture discussions of articles from the literature. Correlated laboratory work on the widely used model organisms Drosophila (flies) and Nematode (worms) provides extensive practical experience. Prereqs., MCDB 2150/2151. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: critical thinking.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces modern cell biology. Includes molecular basis of cellular organization and function, cellular membrane systems, intracellular organelles, mechanisms of energy transduction, the cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix, and functional organization of genetic material. Recommended for students planning careers in health sciences. MCDB 3140 must be taken concurrently or when next offered by MCDB and distributed studies majors. Prereq., MCDB 2150 or EBIO 2070. Coreq., CHEM 1131.
-
2.00 Credits
One four-hour lab per week. Provides experience with and exposure to modern cell biology laboratory techniques. Topics include microscopy, immunocytochemistry, Western blotting, Southern blotting, and flow cytometry. This course does not use vertebrate animals. Coreq., MCDB 3120.
-
3.00 Credits
Highlights dimensions of the cancer problem; cancer as a genetic/cellular disease; chemicals, viruses, and radiation as causes of cancer; cancer and diet; cancer epidemiology; cancer risk factors; proto-oncogenes, oncogenes, and cancer suppressor genes; and prevention of cancer. Prereq., MCDB 2150 or EBIO 2070, or instructor consent. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
3.00 Credits
Analyzes cellular mechanisms from a molecular perspective. Examines molecules as machines that are the basis of cellular mechanisms. Uses animal systems' physiology as examples. Prereqs., MCDB 3120 and CHEM 1131.
-
3.00 Credits
Intensive lecture/discussion course on the interrelationships among science, religion, and social policy. Includes historical and scientific development of evolution theory, social Darwinism/sociobiology, and the public perception of science. Prereq., MCDB 1111 or 1150 or instructor consent. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science or critical thinking.
-
3.00 Credits
Describes the production of germ cells, ovulation, fertilization, reproductive cycles, controls of reproduction, early development of the embryo, methods of contraception, and causes and treatments of sterility. Recommended for students planning careers in the health sciences. Prereq., MCDB 1150, EBIO 1210, or instructor consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies how molecular techniques are being used to characterize genes and their expression. Topics include mechanisms of DNA replication, mutation and repair, recombination, prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression, transposable genetic elements, current applications of recombinant DNA procedures, and identification of human genes. Prereqs., CHEM 1131, and either MCDB 2150 or EBIO 2070. Coreq., CHEM 3311 or 3351.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the molecular basis of the brain's role in thought, action, and consciousness by exploring issues such as relationship of cognition and localized brain function, sensory systems and their role in cognition, learning and memory, and behavioral neurochemistry. Prereq., MCDB 1150 and 2150 or equivalent.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Presentations of special topics in molecular, and/or cellular, and/or developmental biology, usually given by visiting faculty, alone or in conjunction with MCDB faculty. Prereq., instructor consent.
