1.00 Credits
This course will focus on prokaryotic cell structure and function, bacterial growth and metabolism, the molecular genetics of bacteria and viruses, diversity among bacteria, and the interactions between microbes and their environment. Three lectures and three hours of laboratory weekly. Prerequisites: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202. CHE-107 and CHE-141. Spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the molecular, genetic, and cellular components of the immune system. Four lectures and one three-hour laboratory weekly. Prerequisite: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202, CHE-107 and CHE-141. WRITD, Fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
This course studies the principles of development, mainly in animals. Included topics are embryology and the problems of growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis, from the perspective of classical morphological approaches as well as experimental approaches including the use of recombinant DNA methods. Three lectures and one three-hour lab weekly. Prerequisites: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202, CHE-107 and CHE-141. Spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the distribution, ecology, and adaptations of organisms living in aquatic habitats. Laboratory work explores water chemistry, the physiology of aquatic organisms, and community structure with an emphasis upon aquatic habitat sampling and experimental design. Prerequisites: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202, CHE-107, CHE-141. Offered occasionally. Fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
An examination of the nervous system at three different scales: ( 1) cellular foundations of electrical excitability, synaptic transmission, and the arrangement of individual cells into a system; ( 2) system behavior in controlling conscious sensation and voluntary movement; and ( 3) mechanisms that underlie behavior, state changes, and plasticity. Two two-hour and one three-hour lecture/lab sessions. Prerequisites: BIO-202 or PSY-260 and permission. WRITD, Fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
An advanced readings/discussion course on the theory and mechanisms of evolutionary change in populations. Topics include evolutionary genetics, natural selection, adaptation, life histories, and co-evolution. Two two-hour lecture/lab sessions per week Prerequisite: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202, CHE-107 and CHE-141. Spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A chemical and physical analysis of function in living organisms, concentrating on the comparative aspects of organ function in a variety of animals and habitats. Two two-hour lecture/lab sessions per week. Prerequisites: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202, CHE-107 and CHE-141. Spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the molecular biology of the gene. The emphasis will be on the structure and function of nucleic acids, protein synthesis, and their regulation in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Current methods used to study genetic regulation, including recombinant DNA, will be discussed and used in lab. Four lectures and one four-hour laboratory weekly. Prerequisites: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, BIO-202, CHE-107 and CHE-141. Spring semester.
-
12.00 Credits
This course is designed for student/faculty research. Enrollment is limited to students working directly with a faculty member on a research project. Credit is assigned on the basis of 1.0 course equal to 12 hours per week of research work with the faculty. A limit of 1.0 course of BIO-392 or BIO-268/368 may be used toward the biology major and must be approved by the department in advance of the experience so that the department's expectations are clear. Offered each semester.
-
1.00 Credits
Directed group research on a special topic to be identified by the instructor. Students will work together with the instructor in developing a research proposal, designing an experimental protocol, and collecting and analyzing data to further understanding of current biological issues. Students will be expected to present this research in the form of a manuscript suitable for submission for publication and as a public presentation. Research topics and instructors vary by semester. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Fall and Spring semesters.
