-
4.00 Credits
6 hours (2, lecture; 4, lab), 4 credits. Stress on the central role of biomolecules in living cells: biological oxidation and intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, and the general properties of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions in the intact cell and cell-free systems. Laboratory work stresses use of modern techniques used in biochemical analysis and in enzyme assays. PREREQ: Two additional BIO courses and CHE 234-235.
-
4.00 Credits
6 hours (2, lecture; 4, lab), 4 credits. A study of the theoretical basis and methodologies of each of the current schools of systematics, and the arguments used by each school in uncovering the phylogenetic relationships among organisms. Topics to be covered will include Aristotelian essentialism, evolutionary systematics, phenetics, cladistics (phylogenetic systematics), transformed (pattern) cladistics, monophyly, paraphyly, polyphyly, parsimony, homology, homoplasy, character state analysis, and polarity. PREREQ: Two additional BIO courses.
-
4.00 Credits
6 hours (2, lecture; 4, lab), 4 credits. Biochemical activities of plants, including photosynthesis, respiratory pathways, sulfate and nitrate reduction, and cell-wall metabolism will be discussed. The biosynthesis by plants of drugs of pharmacological significance such as alkaloids and vitamins will also be considered. Laboratory work will include techniques for fractionating plant cells and isolating intermediates and products' metabolic pathways. PREREQ: Two additional BIO courses and CHE 234-235.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours, 3 credits. The regulatory mechanisms controlling the changing of cells from a pre-existing condition to one of increased complexity and specialization will be considered. Evidence for biochemical interaction between the nucleus and cytoplasm in normal, hybrid, and cancer cells will be presented, and hypotheses suggested by specific experiments discussed. PREREQ.: BIO 238, one other BIO course, and CHE 234-235.
-
4.00 Credits
6 hours (2, lecture; 4, lab), 4 credits. Consideration of structure in relation to function in the intact cell system. Metabolic regulation and the properties of cell membranes, the cytoplasm, the nucleus, and the genes are discussed in terms of some of the integrated activities of the living cell, including permeability, active transport, excitation, conduction, contraction, differentiation, and aging. PREREQ: Either two additional BIO courses or one BIO course plus one semester of physical chemistry, and CHE 234-235.
-
4.00 Credits
6 hours (2, lecture; 4, lab), 4 credits. Discussion of structure and function of nucleic acids and proteins and their synthesis in vivo and in vitro. Basic concepts in molecular genetics are studied, with special emphasis on the molecular architecture of the gene, its action, and regulations in bacteria and bacteriophages. Laboratory experiments include techniques for isolation and quantitation of nucleic acids from cells, use of the cell-free synthesizing systems, and basic procedures in microbial genetics. PREREQ: CHE 234-235 and either two additional BIO major courses (200-level or above) or one additional BIO major course (200-level or above) and physical chemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
6 hours (2, lecture; 4, seminar, lab, or fieldwork), 4 credits. In-depth consideration of the life histories of fishes. Emphasis on the general and specific physiological adaptations of these organisms to the functional problems presented by the aquatic environment. PREREQ: Two additional BIO courses.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours, 3 credits. Life histories of fishes, including a study of the mathematical and statistical methods for the treatment and evaluation of data relevant to the field of fisheries science. PREREQ: Two Biology courses at the 200 level or above.
-
2.00 Credits
4 hours (lab and field trips), 2 credits. Laboratory and field work stressing techniques useful in basic fish anatomy, community analysis, population dynamics, and statistical modeling of data relevant to fisheries science. PRE or COREQ: BIO 425.
-
4.00 Credits
6 hours (2, lecture; 4, lab) 4 credits. Comparative aspects of cellular and organ physiology, the evolutionary basis for development of homeostatic mechanisms, and structure-function correlation within the animal kingdom. Laboratory work includes the use of modern techniques to elucidate and illustrate the principles discussed in the lectures. PREREQ: Two additional BIO courses and CHE 234-235.
