-
3.00 Credits
A lecture-lab course integrating the evolution, phylogenetics, and taxonomy of green plants. Laboratory activities emphasize the identification of representative green plant groups in New England and phylogeny reconstruction based upon molecular and morphological data. Occasional field trips. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the microbial world emphasizing biological diversity. Topics include fundamentals of microbial cell biology, physiology, metabolism, genetics, evolution, classification and ecology. Laboratory experience emphasizes a research perspective and includes isolation, culture, enumeration, characterization and classification of microbes found in the environment. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab experience that examines the physiology of animals in the context of their natural environments and the unique physical and chemical challenges they present. Physiological data will be analyzed to better understand the distribution, abundance, and evolution of animals. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
An ethological approach to the molecular, cellular and circuitlevel interactions governing the function of the nervous system. Model ethological systems are used to investigate such topics as membrane biophysics, sensorimotor processing, synaptic integration, neuroendocrinology and learning and memory. Prerequisites: BIO 210, 211, and 212. 4 credits. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab experience exploring the relationship between structure and function of macromolecules and other biologically active compounds to metabolism and energy utilization of the cell. Practical experiences will introduce students to methodologies, analytical techniques, and data analyses associated with biochemical research. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, BIO 212, CHEM 221, and CHEM 222. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab experience covering the structure and organization of DNA; DNA replication, repair, and modification; transcription and RNA processing; protein biosynthesis; transcriptional and posttranscriptional control mechanisms, using examples from prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses; and genomics and bioinformatics. Experimentation in modern recombinant DNA techniques. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
Integrated lecture-lab experience covering the cellular and molecular basis of vertebrate adaptive immune response. Topics include structures and cells of the immune system, antibody formation and diversity; role of immune system in health and disease, and evolution of adaptive immunity. Applied immunology and disorders of immunity will also be covered. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab experience that investigates how animals function in their environment through the comparison of different strategies for solving fundamental physiological problems, including those of gas exchange, food acquisition and digestion, maintenance of water and ion balance, and reproduction. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1-4 credits Exploration and analysis of major topics of Biology, such as microtechnique, vertebrate and invertebrate zoology, plant physiology, algae, and biological aspects of sexual reproduction. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
1-6 credits Sequential work-learning experience for which compensation may be received. Positions arranged by students with sponsorship, approval, and evaluation by full-time faculty. Elective credit (normally 120 hours per credit) to a maximum of 12 credits per degree program. Prerequisites: BIO 294, 2.0 cumulative GPA, declaration of major, and permission of instructor. May be repeated for credit. Graded Pass/Fail.
