4.00 Credits
4 credits An introduction to the fundamental concepts of ecology, to illustrate the complex interrelationships of living organisms with each other and with their environment. The ecology of whole systems (forest, oceans) is emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisites: BIO 111 and 112, CHE 111 and 112 or equivalent. The isolation and culture of representative heterotrophic and autrotrophic microorganisms; their morphology, physiology, taxonomy, and genetics. Two lectures and two laboratory periods a week.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits The interrelationships, evolutionary development, and taxonomy of representative plants from the major divisions of the plant kingdom. Emphasis is on morphology as it relates to function, economic importance, and classification.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Fundamental introduction to plants and animals indigenous to Long Island coastal and estuarine waters. Laboratory and field studies of natural history, life cycles, and adaptations of common species.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits Permission of the Committee on Honors and Undergraduate Research and minimum biology GPA of 3.0 are required. Required for honors in biology. An introduction to biological research approaches and methods through lectures, readings, discussions, and seminar presentations by Adelphi and external researchers. Recommended for students who plan to take BIO 498, 499 Guided Research.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisites: BIO 222; permission of instructor. Students will learn the basic taxonomy and structure of viruses. Students will be introduced to viral structure, mechanisms of viral replication, and viral genetics. The pathogenesis of several viral infections will also be studied and will include the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, the Human Papilloma Virus, and the Herpes Simplex Viruses. Lecture.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits This course will examine sperm and egg structure and the mechanisms of fertilization. It will also examine the molecular mechanisms of cell movement, migration, and shape change in the establishment of embryonic and adult body plan. The role of differential gene expression will be presented to explain the formation of distinct cell populations and the establishment of body organs. The analysis of development presented in this course will provide the student with the understanding that genes, cells and the environment must all interact for the zygote to achieve adulthood. Lecture and one laboratory period each week.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry or permission of instructor. Functional analysis of the roles various organs and tissues play that allow vertebrates to exist in diverse environments, with emphasis on the integration and interaction of organs and organ systems. Lecture and one laboratory period a week.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Analytical descriptions of the anatomy, development, variation, anomalies, wear trauma, and pathogenesis of dental structures and surfaces, as well as of the dental masticatory apparatus as part of the cranium, form the basis of this course. Human dental morphology and function are examined in the context of our primate and hominid evolutionary phylogeny. Forensic aspects of the human dentition are examined based on diachronic variants of socioeconomic and sociocultural organizations of human populations. A required laboratory component of 25 hours in working with dental collections from prehistoric and recent human populations provides additional training in dental anatomy and variation, forensics and pathology. Lecture and laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisites: BIO 111,112. An overview of eukaryotic cell biology. Emphasis is on understanding the molecular basis of cell function and structure; the experimental bases of our knowledge; and connections between cell biology and organismal physiology (including causes of human genetic diseases). Labs focus on analytical methods used in cell biological research. Major credit. Lecture and one laboratory period each week.
