-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 210. Classification, structure, and/or physiology of plants and plant-like organisms. (3 hours lecture-lab combined)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 110 and CHE 107. A comparative study of vertebrate embryonic development and anatomy with emphasis on morphogenesis, function, and evolution of organ systems. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: A grade of C- or better in BIO 110, and BIO 200, BIO 210, and BIO 320. The study of the history of evolutionary thought, beginning with pre-Darwinian ideas and ending with our current understanding of evolutionary mechanisms. The course will explore the evidence for evolution by examining the fossil record, comparative anatomy/physiology, and model field studies. Students will learn the model systems demonstrating the mechanisms that drive evolution: mutation, selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and inbreeding. Evolution is a unifying theme in biology which integrates knowledge from all biological disciplines. (3 hours lecture-lab combined)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 110. Study of animal parasites and the effects they have on their hosts. Studies in this course center on parasites of humans, other vertebrates and invertebrates. Taxonomy, morphology, development, physiology, identification, epidemiology and pathogenesis are emphasized. An understanding of human anatomy and histology would be beneficial to students taking this courses. Parasitology is highly recommended for students interested in health-related, biomedical and biological careers. (3 hours lecture-lab combined)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 320, CHE 107. An advanced study of the structure and function of the eukaryotic cell. Topics will include the basics of modern cell biology including signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, and gene expression. (4 hours lecture-lab combined)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 320. This course is designed to give students a working knowledge in the field of molecular biology. It will introduce cloning techniques, DNA sequencing, site directed mutagenesis, electrophoresis and the polymerase chain reaction. A discussion of these techniques and current developments in gene therapy, forensic analysis and molecular systematics will be included. (3 hours lecture/lab combined)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 325. The study of interrelationships of organisms to their environment in terrestrial and freshwater habitats. (3 hours lecture-lab combined)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: A grade of C- or better in BIO 110, BIO 370. This course is a continuation of BIO 370. Students taking this course will be actively involved in research under their chosen advisor. This course is to be taken after BIO 370 but prior to BIO 470.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in BIO 110, 370, and 394. Students will develop an oral and written presentation of their Biology Cooperative Education experience. Students will incorporate current research literature into their presentations.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: A grade of C- or better in BIO 110, 370 and 465. This course is a continuation of BIO 370 and 465. Students will take this course as a means of completing their individual research project under the direction of a chosen instructor. A presentation of this research in both oral and written form is required at the conclusion of the course.
