3.00 Credits
Introduction to scientific investigation including experimental design, data analysis, laboratory notetaking, and communication of the scientific results. Provides design and implementation of a focused project utilizing current techniques and methods in biotechnology. Recent research reports will also be analyzed to obtain an understanding of the principles underlying these approaches. Lecture. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 3180.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the physiological activities in plants such as water relations, metabolism, plant growth hormones, as well as growth, development, and environmental adaptations. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 1010.
-
1.00 Credits
A review of the current literature in a variety of biomedical journals. The format for presentation of material and the research methods employed will be examined. Designed so that students can obtain an understanding of how research is done and how it is reported. Lecture. Credit, 1 semester hour. PREREQ: BIO 1000, Consent of Instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of cellular ultrastructure, molecular organization, and physiology. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, CHM 1300, 1310. Required; CHM 2500, 2510 Recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
The biology and molecular events underlying the immune response and its relationship to the activities and strategies of foreign invaders (both infectious and non-infectious). Applied immunology including biotechnology and diagnostic tools is also presented. Lecture. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 3180, CHM 1310.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the common organisms associated with topical marine habitats. Emphasis will be on fish, invertebrates, algae, and birds. Coverage will include discussions of the coral reef and mangrove communities, ocean currents, and physical and geological factors. The course includes one week of on-campus study followed by one week of field and lab work at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research. There are additional costs involved in the Bermuda trip. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000.
-
3.00 Credits
The principles of biogeography will be discussed in light of current understanding of geology, geography and evolutionary biology. Biogeographic processes are examined at individual, community and ecosystem levels. The effects of a changing earth on species distribution and extinction will be assessed. Causes of modern and historical distributions of taxa will be examined. Lecture. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to and analysis of the concepts of organic evolution, mutation, adaptation, selection, competition, and origin of species are considered. Lecture. Credit, 3 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the nature of the scientific method, hypothesis formulation, experimental protocols, and hypothesis testing. An emphasis is placed on the concepts of experimental design in biological systems, and on current methods of standard data analysis. During the semester, students will design a research project, collect data, analyze this data in an appropriate way, and write a research paper that conforms to standards of current biological journals. The course is recommended for students planning a research career in biology. Student understanding of basic statistics and familiarity with microcomputer data bases and word processing programs are assumed. Lecture. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000.
-
4.00 Credits
The science of conserving the Earth's biodiversity. This course will examine mankind's impact onspecies, populations, and habitats. The role of government and the private sector in conservation will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on defining the problems and identifying scientific solutions, based on ecological principles and case studies. Lecture and Laboratory. Credit, 4 semester hours. PREREQ: BIO 1000, 1010, 1020.
