-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of variation, evolution, classification, and nomenclature of biological organisms and the techniques used by systematists in establishing phylogenetic relationships, with particular emphasis on flowering plants. Recognition of major families of flowering plants and identification of specimens represented in the local flora are stressed. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
The essential mechanisms of plant function. Topics include plant-water relations, mineral nutrition, photosynthesis, respiration, nitrogen fixation, and stress physiology. The importance of these physiological processes to plants in agricultural and natural ecosystems will be considered. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the cellular and molecular components of immune recognition and effector responses against pathogens, with emphasis on the human immune system. Topics will include immune deficiency, allergy, and autoimmunity. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours. HANNUM
-
3.00 Credits
A study of development, with emphasis on the experimental findings that have led to present ideas of the morphological and chemical processes underlying the development and growth of organisms. Fourth credit hour for laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Three or four credit hours. KAVALER
-
3.00 Credits
Basic principles in the areas of plant structure and function will be considered and related to plant cultivation. Practical application of these principles discussed in areas such as lighting, propagation, pruning, and floriculture. Offered in alternate years. Fourth credit hour for laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 131 or 164. Three or four credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to anatomy, physiology, reproduction, and ecology of woody plants. Field trips emphasize identification and ecology; laboratory sessions focus on structure and function; one laboratory includes a Saturday field trip. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours. STONE
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to pathogenic bacteriology. Mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis and mammalian responses against infectious agents of disease; development of general knowledge in these areas and practical experience in laboratory techniques. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Four credit hours. F. FEKETE
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of medicine and disease from an evolutionary perspective. A combination of lectures and discussions will cover current topics such as the evolution of virulence, emerging diseases, why we get sick, why we grow old, antibiotic resistance, the role of evolution in epidemiology, and the evolution of HIV, allergy, asthma, and cancer. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Three credit hours. N.
-
4.00 Credits
The biological basis of race, gender, and sex. Topics include the Human Genome Project and eugenics; reproductive physiology, hormones, and sex determination; brain function and intelligence; and adaptation and human evolution. Cannot be counted toward the biology major. Four credit hours. N, I. TILDEN
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the mechanisms by which plants increase their size and develop different tissues and organs to carry out specific functions. The influence of hormones as well as light and other environmental factors on plant morphogenesis will be considered. Fourth credit hour for laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 164. Three or four credit hours. JOHNSON
