-
3.00 Credits
The study of the origin and development of organisms (with emphasis on animals) through consideration of the embryonic processes and study of successive changes producing adult forms. Emphasis in lecture is on the nature of the processes which initiate and control development. Some time is also spent examining other developmental processes including aging, cancer and birth defects. Prerequisite: BL 2930 or BL 3400 or instructor approval. Concurrently: BL 3451.
-
1.00 Credits
Emphasis in lab is on the sequential structural changes (morphogenesis) which occur during embryonic development in selected organisms including the sea urchin, frog, chick and pig. Some lab time is also devoted to experimental analysis of development. Lab fee. Concurrently: BL 3450.
-
3.00 Credits
Fall and Spring semester A study of the principles of heredity and the operation of hereditary factors in the development of plants and animals. Lecture three hours a week. Prerequisite: BL 1300 or instructor approval. Concurrently: BL 3611.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory to reinforce concepts taught in BL 3610. Topics include classical, molecular, and population genetics. Students will perform and analyze genetic crosses in living model organisms, complete hands-on laboratory experimentation in molecular genetics, and analyze population genetics data. Lab fee. Prerequisites: BL 1300. Concurrently: BL 3610.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the structure, chemical and molecular, and function of the cell. While the eukaryotic cell and its components is the primary consideration, procaryotic cells are studied and compared with their evolved descendants. Prerequisites: BL 1250 or equivalent. Concurrently: BL 3621 and CH 3210 or equivalent or instructor approval.
-
1.00 Credits
The student is introduced to those investigative techniques which are used in molecular and cell studies such as Gel Electrophoresis, Affinity Chromatography, Enzyme and ELISA assays, Blotting Techniques, Polymerase Chain Reaction, Genetic Engineering, DNA Fingerprinting, Cell Surface Receptor Identification and other pertinent techniques unique to cell investigation. Lab fee. Concurrently: BL 3620.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of techniques that are being used to rapidly advance the fields of molecular biology, medicine and genetics. This course utilizes computer technology to teach the theory and application of current techniques for exploring cell and molecular biology. Recent developments in the area of bioinformatics will be emphasized. Topics will include DNA sequencing, restriction enzymes, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), genome sequences, genome expression, DNA sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees, proteomics, and protein structure prediction. Prerequisite: BL 3610.
-
3.00 Credits
A combined lecture and laboratory for the study of the chemical nature of DNA and the mechanisms and effects of gene expression. The molecular biology of prokaryotic organisms, eukaryotic organisms, and viruses will be examined, with an emphasis on genetic recombination, mapping, and expression. Advanced topics, such as the genetics of cancer and developmental genetics, will be approached through the analysis of current research in these fields. Prerequisite: BL 3610.
-
3.00 Credits
A comparative study of variations in, and adaptation to, physiological problems presented to animals and plants. Although cell physiology is noted, emphasis is placed upon the organismic level. All eleven systems are covered. Prerequisite: BL 1250/1251 or 1260/1261 or equivalent. Concurrently: BL 3701.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory course to reinforce the concepts learned in BL 3700. Lab fee. Concurrently: BL 3700.
