3.00 Credits
An examination of the human body in health and disease. After examining the normal physiology of the body, the processes and symptoms of a variety of diseases will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the factors responsible for these diseases and their prevention. For non-concentrators only. Note: Biology 103 and 104 may be taken in any order.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to environmental science and ecology with emphasis on the interrelationships of living and nonliving things in ecosystems and how disruptions of these relationships result in environmental problems. A portion of the course will be held outdoors. For non-concentrators only. Note: Biol 103 and 104 may be taken in any order.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory course addressed to general principles in modern biology. Emphasizes molecular and cell biology, evolution, and basic biological and chemical principles. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. For concentrators and premedical students only.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory course addressed to general principles and an introduction to animal and plant biology. 106 emphasizes cancer biology, biotechnology, cell signaling, immunology, and molecular genetics. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. For concentrators and premedical students only.
-
3.00 Credits
A hands-on course in field biology for non-science majors. Students will learn basic concepts about ecology and environmental science through outdoor activities and exploration of a variety of ecosystems. Field trips will be taken to local national parks, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay to study forest ecology, stream ecology, and the interrelationships of all the living and nonliving components of these ecosystems. The large majority of the course will be spent outside on field trips.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure, function, and changes in hereditary material; transmission genetics. Some discussion of recombinant DNA technology and its applications to human welfare. Three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a general introduction to the structure and "workings" of eucaryotic cells. It covers the cell membrane, intracellular compartments and transport, cell communications, cytoskeleton, cell division and cell death along with their control, and the organization of cells into tissues.
-
3.00 Credits
This laboratory course takes the students through a connected series of modern and advanced molecular biology concepts such as sequence and structural analysis of a model gene, introduction of a specific mutation in a key functional motif, and biochemical assays to determine how the mutation affects biological function. The drug resistance ABC transporter gene, pdr5, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a gene that has significant biomedical importance, will be used as the model gene. The course builds on concepts learned in Biol. 106 laboratory by incorporating several new approaches such as computational analysis, protein engineering, site-directed mutagenesis, and enzyme biochemistry. A major goal of this course is to provide the students with skills that are inherent in professional success, which include analytical skills, quantitative and statistical analyses, written and oral communication of basic concepts.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course reinforces concepts introduced in BIOL 210. Tools and techniques of cell biology will be used to study mitochondria, the cytoskeleton, intracellular transport, and cell division. Emphasis will be placed on improving scientific writing skills. Three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 105 and BIOL 106.
