-
4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Prereq.: CHEM 225 and BIOL 225 or consent of the instructor. Examines gene structure and function; regulation of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis; the control of gene expression; and the use of recombinant technology as an investigative tool.

-
4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Prereq.: BIOL 225 and CHEM 225. Considers host-pathogen relationships by exploring the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which selected viruses, bacteria, and parasites invade host cells, commandeer cellular machinery, evade the host immune response, and cause cellular damage. Drug and vaccine development will also be considered. Lopilato, Staff.
-
4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Prereq.: Consent of the instructor. An intensive study of a specific topic in biology. Topics vary from year to year in response to faculty expertise, student interest, and current developments in biology. Staff.

Introduces the physiology, biochemistry, and control of growth and development in higher plants. Topics include photosynthesis, hormonal regulation of development, transport mechanisms, plant tissue culture, nitrogen fixation, and plant pathogen relations. Includes lecture and laboratory sessions. Douhovnikoff.
-
4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Prereq.: BIOL 221 or consent of instructor. Applies the principles of microbiology to food and beverage production, and to understanding the challenges of producing safe food and drinking water in developed and developing countries.

Lecture and laboratory sessions provide opportunities for extended experiments. Gray.
-
4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Prereq.: BIOL 113 and BIOL 218 or consent of the instructor. Explores the interrelationships of marine organisms and their environment. Includes lecture and laboratory components at Simmons College and a 10-day field trip experience at a field station on the island of San Salvador, Bahamas. Provides the opportunity to explore the open ocean and coral reefs and contributes to a better understanding of the delicate biological balance on isolated islands. Owen, Okusu.
-
4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Prereq.: Consent of the instructor. Directed study addresses coursework required for the major or degree not being offered formally that semester. Students work under the close supervision of a faculty member. Consent is required for a directed study, which does not count toward the independent learning requirement. Staff.
