-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: consent of department. Not available as credit for students enrolled in the graduate program in Biological Sciences. A series of lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and student projects designed to expose students to new areas of plant science and update participants in the classical aspects of botany. Topics will include: tissue culture, economic botany, microtechniquehistology, and regulation of growth and development. Three hours of lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: consent of department. Not available as credit for students enrolled in the graduate program in Biological Sciences. A series of lectures and demonstrations designed to expose students a basic background in the areas of cell and molecular biology using biochemical explanations when necessary. Topics will include cellular organelles and metabolism, biological macromolecules, construction and function of DNA, transcription and translation of proteins.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: consent of department. In-depth lectures and literature- based discussions on selected topics of current interest in biochemistry and physiology. Selected topics may include protein structure and function, metabolic pathways, regulation of enzyme activity, nucleic acids, endocrinology, osmoregulation and comparative biochemistry and physiology.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Review of techniques for effective oral and written communication of scientific information, such as data, data analysis, conclusions, and hypotheses. Topics include organization and preparation of oral and poster presentations, data presentation in abstracts and manuscripts, and writing, revising, and editing abstracts, grants, and manuscripts. One hour of lecture and two hours of laboratory.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: consent of department. In-depth lectures and literature- based discussions on selected topics in cellular and molecular biology. Selected topics may include regulation of cell cycle, cell-tocell communication, cytoskeleton, cellular organelles, cell sorting, membrane function, structure and functions of nucleic acids, DNA replication, transcription and translation, and immunology.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of department. Students and faculty will discuss timely topics in reproductive biology. Graduate students will select current journal articles with the advice of the instructor and lead the discussion of those articles in the seminar. Two hours of discussion.
