  • BIO 261: Developmental Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Luther College

    4 hours A study of gametogenesis, fertilization, organogenesis, and the formation of the body. Both organismal and molecular aspects of these processes will be discussed, ending with a discussion of organ formation, especially the limb, the eye, and gonadal development. Questions such as how sperm and egg interact to create a new organism and how a single cell gives rise to the diverse group of cells that make up the adult body are central to this course. Laboratory will include observation of and experimentation with invertebrate and vertebrate systems. Three lectures and one lab per week. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152; (BIO 243, 248, and BIO 364 recommended).

  • BIO 354: Evolutionary Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Luther College

    4 hours An exploration of current questions in evolutionary biology through lecture, lab, and discussion of the primary literature. Topics include the role of natural selection and drift in human evolution; inferring the origins of new diseases; the effects of genomic conflict on speciation; and the challenges that hybridization poses to understanding the tree of life. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152; (BIO 248 strongly recommended).

  • BIO 367: Endocrinology

    4.00 Credits
    Luther College

    4 hours This course will emphasize the role of hormones in maintaining homeostatis. We will examine the chemical messengers most relevant to human biology, and explore the structure, sites of synthesis and the mechanisms by which hormones exert their effects. Finally, through laboratory exercises, students will directly utilize current research methodologies to examine the role of hormones in physiologic control systems. Prerequisites: BIO 151, 152 (BIO 255 recommended).
