3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 108 or concurrently. Students examine the difference between various types of organisms and dissect a typical mammal to study its internal structure. They also learn and use the applicable terminology. Three-hour lab. 1 cr. Laboratory fee $50.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite BIO 101. This course is a study of the anatomical structure and biological function of the human reproductive system. It includes such topics as the menstrual cycle, puberty, fertilization, embryonic development, birth, contraception, and sexually transmitted diseases. This is a one semester course without a lab. Therefore, BIO 101 followed by this course would meet the General College Requirements for the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 101. This course introduces the student to an overview of hereditary issues in humans. Topics include inheritance patterns, DNA profiling uses in forensics, gene therapy, recombinant DNA technologies, and pedigree analysis. This is a one semester course without a lab. Therefore, BIO 101 followed by this course would meet the new GCR requirements for the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 101 or CHEM 101 or GEOL 101. Finding effective solutions to most environmental problems requires an understanding of sound science and engineering, good public policy, an appreciation of political and economic reality, and an ethical sense of the relationship between humans and the natural world. The interrelationships among these principles provide the unifying theme for this course, which will be covered in five parts. This is a one semester course without a lab. Therefore, BIO 101 or CHEM 101 followed by this course would meet the General College Requirements for the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 101 or BIO 107. Intended for nonscience majors, this course focuses on infectious diseases of humans, the treatments and preventative measures associated with them, and their potential in terrorism. Students learn basic concepts of microbiology and immunity and use the internet to research and write about them using the appropriate vocabulary. Students also use their new knowledge to practice problem solving. BIO 101 or BIO 107 followed by this course will satisfy the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 101, GEOL 101, or permission of instructor. An introduction to the historical development of the Theory of Evolution, the evidence for and mechanisms of evolution, and the major events in the history of life on Earth with emphasis on humans. BIO 101 or GEOL 101 followed by this course fulfills the GCR requirement for the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Topics in biology that are not offered on a regular basis are examined. The course may be repeated for credit if the topic varies. 1-3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 108. Students examine various kinds of plants as well as their structure, internal workings, ecological relationships, and evolution. They learn basic concepts and write about them using the appropriate terminology. Data collecting, analysis, and interpretation are also practiced. Three class hours, three-hour lab. 4 cr. Laboratory fee $50.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 107 and sophomore standing. This is an introduction to bacteria and viruses, and the techniques for working with bacteria and viruses, including their isolation, identification, and enumeration. Three class hours, three hour lab. 4 cr. Laboratory fee $50.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 108. Corequisite: BIO 220. This course is a study of the structural and functional mechanisms that underlie the life processes and organ systems in vertebrates. Offered in alternate years. 3 cr.
