-
3.00 Credits
Co-requisite: BIOL 1020L. This course cannot be taken for credit toward the major in biology. An introduction to the diversity of life on Earth with a special emphasis on ecological and evolutionary processes and relationships.
-
1.00 Credits
Co-requisite: BIOL 1010. This course cannot be taken for credit toward the major in biology. A laboratory course to accompany Biology 1010 emphasizing the diversity of life.
-
3.00 Credits
Co-requisite: BIOL 1040L. This course cannot be taken for credit toward the major in biology. An introduction to modern biology for the non-major with special emphasis on the processes involved in the development and maintenance of complex multicellular organisms.
-
1.00 Credits
Co-requisite: BIOL 1030. This course cannot be taken for credit toward the major in biology. A laboratory course to accompany Biology 1030, emphasizing the structure of multicellular organisms.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the processes underlying the interactions of humans and the natural world. The topics to be covered include: physiological processes and their relationship to diseases; human genetics and biotechnology; the evolutionary basis of human structure and behavior, and the impact of humans on natural communities.
-
3.00 Credits
A non-technical study of marine and estuarine habitats emphasizing habitat types and biological community diversity. Topics of study will include, but are not limited to: organismal adaptations to a marine environment, bio-diversity and taxonomy of major groups of marine organisms, ecosystem types and characteristics and oceanic scale processes. Some voluntary overnight, weekend field trips with emphasis on collecting coastal fauna and study of Georgia coastal habitats.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed for non-science majors. A broad study of economically important plants, their influence on society, and their evolution and manipulations by humans. Uses of plants in the production of foods, beverages, spices, herbs, perfumes, drugs, dyes, wood, and fibers, and in the aesthetic enhancement of human life. Most credit notations on the far right are in the pattern ( 3-0-3). The first number is the number of lecture hours (or equivalent) each week; the second number is the number of laboratory hours (or equivalent) each week; the third number, in bold, is the number of semester hours credit.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of microbes and humans with an emphasis upon infectious diseases and the role of microbes in food production, bioengineering, and industrial processes.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic biology underlying current issues in the conservation of rare species, native ecosystems, and biological diversity in general. Exploration of the nature and geographic distribution of biodiversity and threats to it, discussed in the context of ecological and population-genetic principles as well as socio-economic and political realities. Theory and case studies of different modes of preserving biodiversity (zoos and gardens vs. natural preserves) will be presented. The U.S. Endangered Species Act and Wilderness Preservation Act and C.I.T.E.S., among others, will be critically evaluated as models for government involvement in conservation. Prescriptions for sustainable development that does not further erode biodiversity will be discussed in light of current knowledge of genetics, population dynamics, and community and landscape ecology.
-
3.00 Credits
Genetics and its human implications, past, present and future. A review of the basic patterns of inheritance using human traits. Emphasis will be given to calculation of recurrence risks by pedigree analysis, the human chromosome aberrations, the molecular aspects of inborn errors of metabolism, the human genome project, recombinant DNA technology and its application to gene therapy. Extensive use of computer technology and auto-tutorials will be made in the course.
