-
2.00 Credits
An analysis of shoreline, tidal and floating marine plants, and associated microbial life of the Southern California coastline. Ecological and habitat characteristics are studied. Lecture, lab, and field work. Offered spring 2012. Prerequisites: Biology 211 or 210 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the regulatory mechanisms that govern gene expression in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and their viruses. Alterations of normal eukaryotic genetic regulatory mechanisms resulting from the transformed (cancerous) state also are discussed. Laboratory includes practical experience with the methodologies of modern genetic engineering. Lecture and lab. Offered every year. Prerequisite: Biology 345.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the immune system with an emphasis on mammalian models. The course focuses on the cellular and molecular regulation of the immune system in health and disease. Topics include recognition of antigen, development of lymphocyte repertories, and innate and adaptive immune responses. Also included are discussions of the immune system’s responses to cancer cells, tissue transplants, and allergenic substances. Lecture and laboratory. Offered every year. Prerequisites: Biology 380 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
An analysis of mechanisms of early development of invertebrates and vertebrates. Includes a study of the cellular, molecular, and genetic factors which influence the determination of the body plan as well as a study of the morphogenesis of selected organ systems. Lecture and lab. Offered every year. Prerequisites: Biology 380.
-
3.00 Credits
Taxonomy, behavior, distribution, and ecology of the vertebrates and a comparative study of their morphologies. Lecture and lab. Offered fall 2010. Prerequisite: Biology 211.
-
3.00 Credits
A physiochemical analysis of life processes, as studied by a systemic approach. Lecture and lab. Offered every year. Prerequisites: Biology 211 and Chemistry 295, or instructor consent (Cell and Molecular Biology or Organismal minors). Mathematics 203 or Mathematics 362 recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
An exploration of the behavioral biology of animals, including behavior genetics, physiological mechanisms, development, learning, neuro-physiology, ecology, reproduction, and social behavior; insights from ethology, psychology, behavioral ecology, and sociobiology are also studied. Labs emphasize various aspects of behavioral research in field settings and students conduct their own research projects. Lecture and lab. Offered fall 2011. Prerequisite: Biology 360 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Detailed analysis of protein and membrane structure. Includes quantitative approaches to the study of enzymes, catalytic mechanisms of enzymes, and a survey of the major metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleic acids. One three-hour lab each week. Also listed as Chemistry 450. Offered every year. Prerequisites: Biology 210 and Chemistry 295.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the nervous system at the molecular, cellular and intercellular levels with the goal of understanding the generation and control of thoughts and behavior. Laboratory exercises examine sensory transduction, CNS function, synaptic physiology, behavior and neuroanatomy. The relationship of brain and mind are examined in discussions of nervous system development, intelligence, memory, patho-physiology, sexuality and gender identity, and religious faith and ethics. Lecture and lab. Offered spring 2011. Prerequisites: Biology 140 or 420, or Psychology 301, or consent of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Authentic work experience in jobs that are oriented to the field of biology and that include responsibility for decision making, problem solving, and the use of techniques, skills, knowledge acquired in the classroom. May be repeated to a maximum of three units. Credit/No Credit. Offered every year. Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing. Consent of department chair and faculty advisor.
