4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisite: BSB 101, 102 (w/labs). An introduction to the study of the transmission and expression of genetic information. Studying molecular genetics (replication, mutation, repair, and expression of genetic material) will provide the basis of understanding of Mendelian, cellular, and population genetics. Material will include discussion of historical experiments important to the development of the field and of ethical issues raised by modern genetic technologies. This course will prepare students for more advanced topics, e.g. BSB 332 Cellular and Molecular Biology, BSM 452 Immunology, and BSB/PSC 467 Biochemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisite: BSB 101, 102 (w/labs). A study of the comparative structure, function, and ecology of organisms that have traditionally been treated as members of the Plant Kingdom, including algae, fungi, bryophytes, and vascular plants. Particular attention will be paid to the ecological, economic, and medical importance of the groups studied.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisite: BSB 101, 102 (w/labs). Comparative anatomy of the organ systems of representative vertebrate animals with emphasis on evolutionary trends in structure.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisites: BSB 101, 102 (w/labs); BSB 230 or BSM 241 and MA 123 recommended. A study of basic ecological principles and methods, ecosystems, communities, populations, evolutionary ecology, applications to human ecology, and selected current research topics. Saturday field trips may be planned.
-
3.00 Credits
Only open to students admitted to Teacher Education. This course is taught concurrently with PS 313. This course is designed to give the student a knowledge of methods in the teaching of science in junior and senior high school. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications, such as laboratory preparation and safety, animal care and handling, and teaching and classroom management. Each student will have the opportunity to do some teaching in the general biology laboratories at MUW. Students will also review current reference materials on science teaching, as well as state adopted textbooks in biology. This course does not count toward fulfillment of the requirements for the Biology major. It is for teacher certification only.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisites: BSB 101,102 (w/labs) and PSC 111, 112 (w/labs). An advanced animal physiology lecture and laboratory course that stresses principles and mechanisms of animal function. Emphasis is on the physiology of a wide spectrum of animals, both invertebrate and vertebrate, with attention given to molecular, cellular and organismic levels.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisites: BSB 101,102 (w/labs), BSB 230 or BSM 241, and PSC 111,112 (w/labs). A one-semester survey emphasizing various molecular pathways necessary to cell functioning, including protein sorting, cell-signaling, cell cycle control, and apoptosis. This course also highlights selected techniques and tools of molecular biology used in experiments relating to the topics covered.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisites: BSB 101,102 (w/labs) and BSB 251. A study of the life processes of green plants. Topics such as photosynthesis, on every level from the molecular to the ecological; transport of water and solutes; nitrogen fixation; and the physiology of stages of development from seed germination to senescence will be examined.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisites: BSB 101,102 (w/labs). A comparative study of the major groups of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial invertebrate animals with emphasis on structure, life histories, ecology, and distribution. Laboratories will involve identification of specimens, anatomical studies, and occasional field trips.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture-Laboratory. Prerequisites: BSB 101,102 (w/labs); BSB 303 recommended. An introduction to the classes of living vertebrates, with emphasis on classification, morphology and natural history. Laboratories will involve identification of specimens, anatomical studies, and occasional field trips.
