25.00 Credits
A study of the basic principles of genetics including the transmission and organization of the genetic material in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the molecular biology of nucleic acids and information transfer, mutation and mutagenesis, and gene regulation. Laboratory will include techniques of genetic analysis in plants, fungi, and Drosophila. Selected experiments in cytogenetics, molecular genetics, and the genetics of bacteria and bacteria phage. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in Biology 224-01. 0.25 units, Laboratory
-
25.00 Credits
Human gene therapy, genetically-engineered crop plants, and transgenic mice are all possible because of the powerful techniques developed to manipulate nucleic acids and proteins. This course will introduce you to the fundamental methods at the heart of this technology-DNA isolation, restriction digestion, DNA recombination, Southern blotting, and DNA library screening. The emphasis will be on the laboratory experience, with lectures covering current examples of research using the techniques described. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L or Permission of Instructor. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A study of cell structure and function, emphasizing molecular components, metabolism, organelles, motility, and growth and division. The molecular biology of cells and the regulation of cellular processes are emphasized. Laboratory exercises will include light microscopy, molecular cellular experiments, and other experiments in cell biology. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L or Permission of Instructor. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A study of microorganisms that include bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotic microbes. Structure, genetics, metabolism, growth and division, and prokaryotic experimental systems are examined. In addition, mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, and human and viral pathogens are explored. Laboratory exercises will consist of sterile techniques, culture, microscopy, and identification of bacterial specimens. Other exercises will involve experiments in genetic exchange (formerly Biology 308L). Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L and Chemistry 112. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
This lecture and discussion course focuses on the science and theory of this interdisciplinary field. Biological concepts examined include biodiversity and the definition of species, patterns of species vulnerability, population dynamics of small populations, extinctions and invasions, rarity, metapopulations, conservation genetics, reserve design, captive breeding, endangered species, habitat fragmentation, and population recovery programs. Interactions between biology, human concerns regarding resource management, and the political process will also be considered. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in Biology 152L or Biology 182L, or permission of instructor. 1.00 units min / 1.25 units max, Lecture

0.00 Credits
The infectious disease process is multifactorial. In order to understand how bacteria and viruses cause disease, it is necessary to examine the delicate relationship that exists between the host and the infectious organism. This course will focus on understanding the human immune system in health and in disease, as well as the mechanisms employed by microorganisms to escape the immune response. A stepwise approach to the infectious process will be taken in this lecture- and discussion-based course, beginning with initial encounter between the host and the infectious agent and ending with the transmission of the agent to a new host. Although human disease will be the main focus, some infectious agents of plants and other animals will also be discussed. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L or Permission of Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture

0.00 Credits
During the past two centuries, ideas about evolution have provided powerful explanations for the history and diversity of life. This discussion course explores the history of evolutionary ideas in their political and social contexts. Drawing upon primary sources, we will consider contributions from Darwin, Lamarck, and other 19th-century scientists, as well as such 20th-century biologists as Mayr, Gould, and Dawkins. Among the issues to be considered are naturalistic explanations for apparent "design" in the world, controversial application of "Darwinian" ideas in sociopolitical realms, and the relationship of secular approaches and values to the growth of biological thought. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L or Permission of Instructor. 1.00 units, Seminar

Although the earliest plants were simple cells limited to an aquatic environment, today's plants are found in many habitats, including deserts and high altitudes. To survive in these environments, plants have evolved a remarkable variety of body forms and specialized structures. This course will survey the plant kingdom, focusing on adaptations that permitted plants to advance into new habitats. We will examine selected examples from the major groups, combining lectures, demonstrations and observations (formerly Biology 304). Prerequisites: Biology 152L and 153L. Enrollment limited. 1.00 units, Lecture

25.00 Credits
This course provides a comprehensive survey of the structure, composition, and function of tissues and their cellular and non-cellular components. Particular emphasis is placed on structural organization and structural - functional relationships of mammal tissues, with comparisons to other vertebrates. Recent microscopic research conducted at Trinity will also be considered. In the laboratory, students learn fundamentals of cell and tissue morphology through light microscopy and examination of electron micrographs. A background in general and/or organic chemistry is useful. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L or Permission of Instructor. 1.25 units, Lecture
