-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 212. A study of the principles of evolutionary theory. The course covers the historical development of evolutionary thought, the nature of organic diversity, variation, adaptation, natural selection, and other mechanisms of evolutionary change. A lecture course. (Occasional)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as EES 381) Prerequisites: BIO 220/211 or EES 150. A study of the relationship between the urban environment and the associated biological, physical, social and political systems. Emphasis will be placed on ecological principles and processes as they relate to the urban ecosystem including the impacts of urbanization on biodiversity, air and water quality, production and management of waste, energy use and land use patterns. The historical development of cities and current urbanization trends will be considered with a focus on urban sprawl. Lecture/discussion course. (Every two years)
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: to be specified. Study of a topic not available through normal departmental offerings. Topics will be announced in advance. Credit hours and prerequisites will be determined by the nature of the topic, with a maximum of 4 credit hours per course. No more than 4 credit hours may be counted as part of the biology major. (Occasional)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 310 and CHM 222. A detailed study of the molecular aspects of gene structure, function, and evolution. Laboratory work will focus on recombinant DNA technology and other molecular tools used by modern geneticists. Experimental design and formal laboratory writing are required. A lecture and laboratory course. (Every two years)
-
4.00 Credits
(Same as EES 440) Prerequisite: BIO 212. Aquatic ecosystems encompass a wide spectrum of habitats, ranging from the world's major oceans and rivers down to the smallest tidal pools and mountain streams. Course content will reflect this diversity as well as the fundamental principles unifying these systems, emphasizing the adaptations of representative communities to the physicochemical characteristics of the varied habitats. The laboratory component will combine field trips to local middle Georgia aquatic environments with wet labs, where collected plant and animal samples will be identified. Experimental design and formal laboratory writing are required. A lecture, laboratory, and field course. (Every two years)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 212. A study of the developmental process in animals and plants with emphasis on the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which development is regulated in animals. Experimental design and formal laboratory writing are required. A lecture and laboratory course. (Occasional)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 212. Organic chemistry strongly recommended. A study of the structure and function of eukaryotic organelles as distinct compartments. Emphasis is placed on understanding the role of each organelle in the overall functioning of the individual cell. Electron micrographs are used extensively. (Every two years)
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite: BIO 460 Investigative laboratory component to complement BIO 460. Techniques include gel electrophoresis, centrifugation, cell culturing, Western blotting, chromatography, and microscopy. Experimental design and formal laboratory writing are required. The course includes one four-hour laboratory each week. (Every two years)
-
3.00 Credits
(Same as CHM 465) Prerequisites: BIO 212 and CHM 222. A course on the nature of the chemical and physiochemical properties of living organisms. Includes an overview of the synthesis and structure of biological macromolecules, enzyme kinetics, mechanisms of reactions, metabolism, and energy exchange. This course includes three one-hour lectures per week. (Every semester)
-
1.00 Credits
(Same as CHM 465L) Corequisite: CHM/BIO 465. Investigative laboratory component to complement CHM/BIO 465. Techniques used include electrophoresis, analysis of enzyme kinetics, chromatography, centrifugation, and protein analysis and centrifugation. Experimental design and formal laboratory writing are required. The course includes one four-hour laboratory each week. (Every year)
