BIOL 1100, 1200, 2110 with a mimimum grade of C or better and MATH 1100 or higher (1100-4999). A course in ecology is recommended. Open only to juniors and seniors. This course surveys topics in evolutionary biology and is intended to provide a better understanding of evolutionary mechanisms. Both micro and macroevolutionary processes will be covered. Topics will include the history of evolutionary thought, population genetics, the nature of adaptations, mechanisms of speciation, sexual selection, heterochrony, origin and history of life, extinction events, etc. Controversies surrounding the reconstruction of evolutionary history (use of morphology vs. molecules, benefits/drawbacks of different methodologies, etc.), the role of evolution in determining social behavior, the evolutionary medicine paradigm, and the importance of biodiversity for conservation practices will be examined. Examples will come from both the fossil record and living species. Offered alternate years. Faculty: M. LEWIS 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
Bioinformatics is a field of biology in which computers are used to help scientists answer biological questions. This course will cover biological databases, analysis of DNA and protein sequences, assessing sequence similarity, using DNA and protein sequences to predict structure, the study of genomes, the study of all of the proteins of an organism (proteomics). Students will use computational tools to perform their own analyses of biological molecules. Faculty: T. HARMER LUKE 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
BIOL 1100 and 1200 with a minimum grade of C or better. BIOL 2150 and either BIOL 3150 or BIOL 2180. Primarily intended for physical therapy students. In-depth examination of the human body focuses on the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and renal systems. Other systems studied include digestive, endocrine, and skin. The physiologic processes that enable these systems to work efficiently to produce a functional being will be detailed. Offered each Spring term. Faculty: R. WERNER 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
BIOL 2150 and either BIOL 3150 or BIOL 2180. Open only to juniors and seniors. A detailed examination of organization, function, and interaction of physiological systems with emphasis on unique adaptations in vertebrates. We will study both classic and current approaches to the study of animal physiology. Physiological traits are adaptations to environmental conditions and we focus on how animals deal with fresh and salt water, high altitudes, the deep sea, and the terrestrial environment ranging from deserts to the arctic. Offered in alternate years. Faculty: L. SMITH 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
BIOL 2150 and BIOL 2180 or BIOL 3150. The reproductive aspect of mammals will be examined and will include anatomy, endocrinology, physiology, and reproductive behavior. Embryology will not be covered. A paper, including presentation to the class is required. A field trip may be included. Offered in fall. Faculty: R. WERNER 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
BIOL 1100, 1200, and 2110 with a grade of C or better. BIOL 3170 or BIOL 3190 strongly recommended. CHEM 2110 and CHEM 2120. Open only to juniors and seniors. The biochemistry, genetics, cell and molecular biology of the vertebrate immune system. Topics covered include cellular basis of immune responses and its regulation, B- and T-cell differentiation, antibody and T-cell receptor structures and the generation of their diversity, the MHC complex, inflammation, cancer and immunity, autoimmunity and other immunopathologies. The experimental basis of immunology will be emphasized. Does not include laboratory work. Offered alternate every other Spring, next Spring 2010. Faculty: B.

BIOL 1100, 1200 and 2110 with a minimum grade of C or better. CHEM 2110 and CHEM 2120. Open only to juniors and seniors. The study of genetics at the molecular level. Topics include the structure and function of nucleic acids, mechanisms of transcription and translation, control of gene expression, DNA sequence analysis. Focus is on readings from classic and recent research literature in molecular genetics. The accompanying laboratory is designed to give students hands-on experience in the basic techniques of recombinant DNA technology: plasmid isolation, transformation of bacterial cells, restriction mapping, and analysis of cloned genes. Offered every other year. Faculty: K. YORK 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department
