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. 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
A study of the developmental processes in animals with emphasis on vertebrates. Modern theories of development are emphasized. Laboratory exercise will include studies of the developmental anatomy of several animals with emphasis on the early embryology of the chick. In addition, experiments dealing with several aspects of animal morphogenesis will be pursued and selected techniques used in experimental studies of animal development will be introduced. (In the fall of 2009, this course will be offered without a laboratory section.) Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
0.00 Credits
An introductory course in neuroscience that will examine the neuron and its biological interactions in animal nervous systems. Topics will include the anatomy, development, chemistry and physiology of nervous systems. Prerequisites: Biology 152L and 153L, or permission of the instructor. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L (or another lab course), and permission of the instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A broad-based survey of the biological diversity and evolution of the vertebrates. Special emphasis will be placed on functional morphology, physiology, paleontology, and ecology, as related to evolutionary history. The laboratory will introduce the student to the fundamentals of vertebrate anatomy through the dissection of such animals as the dogfish shark, the cat, and the lamprey. Other lab exercises will deal with functional analysis and reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L or permission of instructor 1.25 units, Lecture
-
3.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to the molecular reactions that sustain life. Topics include biomolecule structure and function, bioenergetic principles that rule the synthesis and degradation of biological macromolecules, and integration and regulation of metabolic pathways. As a consequence of its interdisciplinary nature, this course should be rewarding to students with a variety of interests. This is a lecture and discussion-based course with an instructional laboratory. The final grade earned will be determined by performance on examinations, quizzes, written assignments, laboratory reports, group activities, attendance and participation. Students majoring in biochemistry or using this course to satisfy the Group II requirement for the biology major must enroll in lab. Concurrent enrollment in Biology 317-01 or C- or better in Biology 317-01. 0.25 units, Laboratory
-
25.00 Credits
This course examines the physiological mechanisms underlying four fundamental functions-movement, sensation, feeding, and reproduction. How do physiological systems operate to enable organisms to live in drastically different habitats What are the common cellular and molecular mechanisms shared by diverse animals The laboratory will consist of several preparations examining developmental, sensory, endocrine, and muscle physiology, followed by more detailed, independent investigations of one of these preparations. 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
This course is a study of how plants function. Like animals, plants must have food and water, protect themselves from predators, and accommodate changes in their environment. However, plants have evolved very different solutions to these common problems. We will examine the mechanism of plant movements, how plants detect changes in the world around them, how they transport water great distances without a pump, and how they feed themselves. Special topics include the physiology of parasitic plants, the mechanisms by which plants withstand freezing and drought, and how plants combat insects and disease. 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
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
-
1.25 Credits
No Course Description Available. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the adaptations of organisms to their environment and of the interrelationships among organisms that determine the structure and attributes of natural populations and biological communities. Field trips and laboratory exercises use sampling methods and statistical techniques to analyze the response of organisms to their physical environment, selected population phenomena, and different natural communities. Several field trips are required during the term. It is recommended that students take Biology 215L and 222L before enrolling, but they are not prerequisites. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L or Biology 182L. 1.25 units, Lecture
