-
1.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the current literature on a topic or topics selected by the instructor. Prerequisites: at least junior standing and biology major.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of eukaryotic cells at the molecular level.Topics include protein biosynthesis, membrane structure and function, gene expression and regulation, cellular and subcellular structure, and the cell cycle.Three lectures, one three-hour laboratory, and one DHAR laboratory per week. BI 301 is strongly recommended. Prerequisites: BI 125, CH 122, and at least junior standing. Spring.
-
1.00 Credits
A course investigating the impact of genetic engineering in the biological sciences. Emphasis is placed on the techniques of gene cloning and analysis, and how these techniques are used as tools in basic research in signal transduction, oncogenes, evolution, and nervous system function; and in applied research in agriculture, medicine, and industry.The social impact of recombinant DNA technology is also discussed.Three lectures, one three-hour laboratory, and one DHAR laboratory each week. Prerequisites: BI 125, 225, and 301, and CH 121. Spring.
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure, chemistry, and metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids.Three lectures, one three-hour laboratory, and one DHAR laboratory per week. (Also listed as CH 408, this course may be counted for credit in either biology or chemistry.) Prerequisites: BI 125 and CH 212. Fall.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of organisms at the population, community, and ecosystem levels of biological organization. Emphasis is placed on organism-environment and organism-organism interactions.Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BI 225 or BI 115 and UES 150, and at least junior standing.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the basic theories and processes of organic evolution with emphasis on sources of variability and the organization of variability in populations, population genetics, and the origin of species by natural selection. Prerequisite: BI 301.
-
1.00 Credits
A descriptive study of the development of vertebrates from gametogenesis through organogenesis.Three lectures, one three-hour laboratory, and one DHAR laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BI 115 and at least junior standing. Spring.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the phylogenetic development of chordate systems with special emphasis on the comparative morphology of a series of vertebrates.Three lectures, one threehour laboratory, and one DHAR laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BI 115 and at least junior standing. Fall.
-
1.00 Credits
An advanced exploration of the practices and techniques of biological research focusing on the design, conduction, and presentation of experiments, data analysis, and information retrieval.Two units are required, one of which may be in the interim or summer session. During the first term, students will consult with their research advisors and the course facilitator to (a) develop and write a formal research proposal based on literature related to the topic, (b) give an oral presentation of the proposal to the class, and (c) begin their research. During the second term, students will (a) give a progress report, (b) complete their research, (c) write a thesis in the form of a scientific article, and (d) prepare an oral presentation summarizing the results of their research. During both terms, students will lead discussions of research articles related to their projects. Students will be expected to devote as much time to this course as that required of an upper-level laboratory course. Research may be conducted offcampus if suitable supervision can be arranged. Interdisciplinary research projects are also encouraged. Students conducting their first term of research in the fall, spring, or summer will register for BI 470. Students conducting their second term of research in the fall, spring, or summer will register for BI 472. During interim, students register for BI 499.
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to the fundamental principles of chemistry and the importance of chemistry in modern life.This course may be counted toward the laboratory science requirement but cannot be used as a prerequisite for CH 122.Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week.
