3.00 Credits
CONSERVATION BIOLOGY. Provides an overview of biodiversity patterns and their susceptibility to human activity. Investigates the science underlying conservation of plant and animal communities (terrestrial and marine) and ecosystems. Pays special attention to the need to develop conservation strategies that accommodate climate change.
-
3.00 Credits
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. Presents the structure, function and regulation of genetic information. Includes in-depth discussion of nucleic acid replication, transcription and translation. Introduces uses and applications of nucleic acids in current research.
-
4.00 Credits
BIOCHEMISTRY 2. Lectures and labs involving the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and nitrogenous compounds including amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids. Discusses in detail the regulation of metabolism, biosynthesis of macromolecules and control of gene expression.
-
4.00 Credits
GENETIC ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES. Lectures and labs on the theory and practice of gene splicing and manipulation, the use of restriction enzymes, plasmid and phage vectors and the cloning of genes. Also includes nick translation, random primer labeling, colony hybridization and southern blotting. (Q)
-
4.00 Credits
NUCLEIC ACID ANALYSIS. Lectures and laboratories involving the theory and practice of current methods of nucleic acid manipulation. Techniques studied include restriction site mapping, end-labeling, sequencing, mRNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, DNA:DNA and DNA:RNA hybridization, PCR technology and DNA fingerprinting. (Q)
-
3.00 Credits
SPECIAL TOPICS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. Covers current and important topics in cell and molecular biology. May include mechanisms of DNA mutagenesis, DNA damage, prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA repair schemes, eukaryotic DNA organization and function, eukaryotic DNA replication mechanisms and genome instability associate with human disease.
-
3.00 Credits
IMMUNOLOGY. Covers basic immunology and the fundamental principles relating to clinical immunology. Studies the two functional divisions of the immune system, the innate and the adaptive immune systems, along with the cells and the soluble factors responsible for the immune response.
-
4.00 Credits
PLANT PHYSIOLOGY. Presents the physiological processes of plants and their interactions with their environment. Covers water relations, plant biochemistry, plant development and environmental physiology.
-
3.00 Credits
CELL BIOLOGY. Emphasizes the interdependence of three systems: a membrane-cytoskeletal system, a system that directs genetic information into synthesis of cell constituents; and a system integrated into membranes that converts energy, supplied to cells as nutrients or light, into cell function and cell synthesis.
-
4.00 Credits
COMMUNITY ECOLOGY. Studies the composition and distribution of biological communities and the community responses to climatic and other abiotic factors. Ecosystems, biogeography, biodiversity, successions, paleoecology, pollution, conservation. Modular lab exercises stress the experimental design, conduct and data analysis of community studies. (Q)
