-
1.50 Credits
A laboratory course designed to provide demonstrations, experiments, and discussion to reinforce and supplement BI 274. Biology majors, especially those who intend to pursue medically-oriented programs, graduate programs, or education should take this laboratory concurrently with BI 274. Students enrolled in BI 274 are not required to take the laboratory, but students enrolled in the laboratory must take BI 274 concurrently. One three-hour laboratory a week. (Offered each spring semester).
-
4.50 Credits
An exploration of the three main branches of heredity: transmission (classical), molecular, and population genetics. Transmission genetics examines how genes and genetic traits are passed from generation to generation. Molecular genetics probes the structure, function, and regulation of genes, while population genetics investigates through mathematical models and the distribution and behavior of genes in populations. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory each week. Prerequisites: A grade of a C or better in BI 143 and BI 144, or BI 143 and BI 146. (Offered each spring semester).
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of the theory of evolution, evidences of organic evolution provided by the various subdisciplines of biology and its mechanisms and results. Three hours per week. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in BI 143, BI 144; or BI 143, BI 146 or permission of instructor.
-
4.50 Credits
A study of the relationships of organisms to each other and to their environment from an evolutionary perspective. Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems will be studied from the perspective of the individual, the population, and the community. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in BI 144 or BI 146 or permission of the instructor. Statistics is recommended as is senior status. (Offered each spring semester).
-
4.50 Credits
This course studies the major fields of microbiology with an emphasis on bacteria and viruses. Topics include bacterial cell structure, metabolism, genetics, ecology and pathogenesis. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in BI 143, BI 144, CH 111, and CH 112. (Offered each fall semester).
-
4.50 Credits
An intensive study of the embryologic origin, the development and the structure and function of the tissues of the human body. Lecture three hours per week, lab three hours per week. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in BI 143, BI 144. (Offered fall semester of even-numbered years).
-
5.00 Credits
Phylogenetic study of the structure and function of the vertebrate animals. Lecture three hours per week. Two two-hour labs per week. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in BI 143, BI 144.
-
4.50 Credits
A survey of the animal parasites. Emphasis on morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations that allow parasites to lead a dependent life style. Anti-parasite adaptations of hosts will also be explored. Three hours lecture and one three-hour lab per week and weekend field trips. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in BI 143, BI 144. (Offered fall semester of odd-numbered years).
-
4.50 Credits
A comparative study of the evolution of animal behavior centering on the principles and mechanisms of behavior. Three hours lecture and one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in BI 143 and BI 144, or PS 101 or permission of instructor. (Offered as needed).
-
5.00 Credits
This course studies the cell structure and functions common to all eukaryotic organisms including: metabolism, organelle activity, gene expression, cell growth and division, and cell communication. The laboratory component will include learning to use various equipment and protocols scientists use to manipulate and visualize DNA, RNA, and protein in and from cells for research experiemtns. Three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisties: A grade of a C or better in BI 125 and BI 127 or permission of instructor.
