  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will focus on the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. The course begins with a very brief review of cell composition and metabolism, and continues to the fundamentals of molecular biology. Further topics include the organization of the genome, DNA replication, RNA transcription, translation, and protein processing, cell signaling and communication, the cell cycle, cell death and renewal, cellular transformation/ cancer induction. The text will be supplemented with readings from the lay and research literature. Fall 2010 and alternate years. Prerequisite: BI 102, BI206, CH 110 or permission. Group: III.
  • 5.00 Credits

    Lectures and laboratory provide basic knowledge of the handling and understanding of microorganisms, including their characteristics, activities, distribution, and effects on the human body. Includes study of specific pathogenic organisms and diseases, as well as the body's natural defense mechanisms and methods of disease prevention and treatment. Fall. Prerequisite: BI 101 or permission. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Students are introduced to the biological effects of drugs on humans. All major drug classes are studied, with emphasis on those affecting the central nervous system and behavior. Students examine the actions, uses, limitations, and side effects of drugs. Prescription and over-the-counter, as well as herbal and illegal drugs are discussed. Spring 2010 and alternate years. Prerequisite: BI 101 or PY 101 or permission. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course introduces the basic principles and methods of epidemiology and the basic skills needed to interpret the epidemiological literature of medicine and public health. The course includes both lecture and seminar instructions; in the seminars, class discussion of cases illustrate the principles covered in the lectures. Spring 2011 and alternate years. Prerequisite: BI 289. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Continues the study of genetic concepts begun in BI 101 and BI 102. Students examine examples of current applications of human genetics, such as population genetics, DNA profiling and immunogenetics. Use of primary research is embedded into the course. Fall. Prerequisite: BI 102, BI 206 or equivalent or permission. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This upper-level course focuses on the disease process and on the structural and functional change inherent in the pathology of specific human diseases. Spring. Prerequisite: BI 205 and BI 206 or permission. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This upper-level course examines the biology and conservation of cetaceans, whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Topics include physiology, population biology and life history analysis, molecular genetics, morphology, distributional ecology, and social behavior. Early lectures focus on the biology of cetaceans and how they are adapted to the marine environment. Later lectures use case studies to review how biological principles can be applied to the conservation of a wide range of cetacean species. Spring. Prerequisites: BI 101,BI 102, and two upper- level biology courses. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This upper-level survey course covers the evolution, systematics, anatomy, physiology, and behavior of freshwater, marine, and anadromous fishes from temperate to tropical environments. The course also examines the diversity of fish interactions in aquatic communities: predator/prey relationships, host/symbiont interactions, and the various roles of fishes as herbivores. Study of inter- and intra-specific predatory-prey relationships among fish populations in aquatic communities integrates principles of ecology. Spring. Prerequisites: One year of general biology and two upper-level biology courses. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a comprehensive introduction to the economics and ecology of water supply and water pollution control. Topics include watershed management, groundwater and wetlands protection, wastewater treatment, and coastal zone management. The inherent difficulty in applying static laws and regulations to a dynamic natural resource such as water is a recurring theme in the course. Fall. Prerequisites: BI 101, BI 102 plus two courses in biology or chemistry. Group: III.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course presents a survey of the coastal environment, its physical characteristics, natural system economic uses, and development pressures. Lectures examine strategies formulated in the United States for land and water management in the coastal zone. The roles of federal, state, and local government, environmental groups, and resource users are also explored. Finally, by comparing coastal zone management problems in the United States with those elsewhere in the world, students gain a global perspective. Spring. Prerequisites: BI 101, BI 102 plus two courses in biology or chemistry. Group: III.
