-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-laboratory course in which the pathways of etiological agents of disease, methods of identification and therapy, and control measures are considered. Prerequisite: BIOL 220.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-laboratory course involving the microbiology and epidemiology of food-borne diseases and food poisoning and microbiology of fermented foods. Methods of prevention and identification are considered. Prerequisite: BIOL 220.
-
4.00 Credits
Deals with measures of central tendency and dispersion; binominal, student, and chi-square distribution; and hypothesis testing related to biological problems. Prerequisite: college algebra or the equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
Lectures, labs and field trips introduce students to the structure and dynamics of plant populations and communities from an evolutionary perspective. Students develop and awareness of abiotic factors and ecological relationships between species that influence the abundance and distribution of plants in the natural environment, and the important role of plants in the global ecosystem. Laboratory exercises allow students to design and implement field and greenhouse experiments. Students will gain experience with internet resources in searching the primary literature in plant ecology, as well as analyzing and presenting scientific data. Prerequisite: BIOL 101/102, BIOL 200, BIOL, 230 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Treats the endocrine system systematically, beginning with a discussion of basic concepts, such as the properties of hormones, mechanism of action, hormone assay, and then such recognized endocrine glands as the hypothalamus and adrenal cortex. Emphasis is placed on vertebrate endocrine physiology, with some invertebrate comparisons. Prerequisites: BIOL 251 and CHEM. 142.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces how nerve cells receive, transmit and integrate information in an animal. The first part deals with the cellular and molecular aspects of neuronal signalling. The second part deals with neural nets, sensory motor integration and brain functions. Prerequisite: BIOL 341.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the chemical nature of the genetic materials, mutation, the genetic code, protein synthesis, enzyme subunit structure, genetic complementation, and gene action and development. Prerequisites: BIOL 101/102, BIOL 200, CHEM. 142, and consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
General study of the biology of fungi, with emphasis on their development, phylogency, and ecologic distribution. Prerequisite: BIOL 101/102.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces student to the theoretical bases and practical applications of experimental techniques in cellular biochemistry. Lecture-laboratory instruction on the following: pH, buffers and solutions (gravimetric and spectrophotometric methods); purification of enzymes and other proteins by chromatographic (MEC, IEC, etc.) and electrophoretic (PAGE, SDS-PAGE, IEF) methods; enzyme kinetics (Km, inhibition); isozymes (pl, Km, Mr, densitometry); estimation of relative molecular mass of proteins by denaturing and non-denaturing methods (retardation coefficients); quantitative (graphic and statistical) analysis of experimental data; BASIC computer programming. Prerequisite: a survey course in biochemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the genetic structure of population, factors affecting gene frequency, geno-type-environment interaction, and genetic relationship in natural and artificial populations. Prerequisites: BIOL 200 and consent of instructor.
