3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture hours weekly.) This is an introductory course on the principles of genetics and evolution. The factors that govern inheritance and natural selection are presented, and their impact on physical and cultural evolution discussed. Current issues surrounding genetic counseling, genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technologies, and emerging infectious diseases are introduced. The potential impact of these developments is discussed. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-2, IGETC Area 5B
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Advisory: Concurrent enrollment in Biology 110L. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course is an introduction to the science of biology for nonmajors as well as a prerequisite course for majors in biology. Subjects include ecology, human ecology, evolution, molecular, cell biology, genetics, systematics of monerans, protists, fungi, plants and animals, and human physiology. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-2, IGETC Area 5B
-
1.00 Credits
(1.0 Unit) (Prerequisite: Biology 110 or concurrent enrollment. Three laboratory hours weekly.) This course is an introduction to biology experimentation for nonmajors. Experiments and field studies are selected from ecology, molecular, cell biology, genetics, plant anatomy and identification, and human physiology topics. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-2 or B-3, IGETC Area 5B
-
5.00 Credits
(5.0 Units) (Prerequisites: Biology 110, 110L, and Chemistry 131. Three lecture and six laboratory hours weekly.) This is an introductory course for biology majors covering the fundamentals of molecular and cell biology, genetics, DNA technology, evolution, and ecology. It is a lecture/laboratory based course in which students incorporate lecture concepts into laboratory experiments that they design, carry out, analyze, and report. Please note that Biology 115 is not a prerequisite for Biology 116. Since Biology 115 has a Chemistry 131 prerequisite and Biology 116 does not, students may wish to register for Biology 116 and Chemistry 131 during the same semester. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-2 or B-3, IGETC Area 5B, CAN BIOL SEQ A = Biol 115 +116
-
5.00 Credits
(5.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Biology 110 and 110L. Three lecture and six laboratory hours weekly.) This is a course for biology majors to study the evolution of organisms from Monera to plants and animals. Emphasis will be placed on taxonomy, comparative morphology, and ecology of plants and animals. Please note that Biology 115 is not a prerequisite for Biology 116. Since Biology 115 has a Chemistry 131 prerequisite and Biology 116 does not, students may wish to register for Biology 116 and Chemistry 131 during the same semester. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-2 or B-3, IGETC Area 5B, CAN BIOL SEQ A = Biol 115 +116
-
5.00 Credits
(5.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Biology 110 and 110L. Advisory: Completion of English 98 or equivalent. Three lecture and six laboratory hours weekly.) This course is a study of the gross and microscopic structure of the tissues, organs and organ systems of the human body, including major functions. The class will make use of models, slides, prosections and dissection (including human cadavers). Includes introduction to related fields such as histology and embryology. Appropriate for students going into allied health fields, kinesiology, anthropology and art. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-2 or B-3, IGETC Area 5B, CAN BIOL 10, CAN BIOL SEQ B = Biol 120 + 224
-
4.00 Credits
(4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Biology 138 or Geology 138. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This science-based course takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the environmental crisis that confronts us all. Our studies combine ideas and information from natural sciences (such as biology, chemistry and geology) and social sciences (such as economics, politics, and ethics) to present a general idea of how nature works and how humans and ecosystems are interconnected. It is a study of connections in nature. Discussions will focus on understanding ecosystem services, how humans interfere with earth's life support systems and how to deal with the environmental problems we face. Emphasis is placed on understanding various world views and how they affect our values. Our field studies will include visits to restoration projects, local ecosystem field studies and local environmental conferences. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-1 or B-3, IGETC Area 5A or 5B

1.00 Credits
(1.0 Unit) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Biology 140 or Geology 140. However, credit will be awarded for only one course. Three laboratory hours weekly.) This course is designed to teach the fundamentals of environmental sampling and monitoring. Topics include surveying and mapping; data collection and management; and hydrological, geological, and biological assessment methods. This course is field based and the emphasis is on the mastery of practical field techniques. May be taken four times for credit. (CSU)
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Biology 142 or Geology 142. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course is a study of federal, state, and local environmental legislation. It is a chronology of America's awakening to environmental issues and a study of our efforts to resolve these issues through the planning process. An understanding of the content of this course is vital for environmental scientists, planners, and developers. (CSU/UC)
