-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
1-6 s.h. Under the guidance of faculty members, students pursue projects that do not fit within the framework of regular biology course offerings. Open to students at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels. Cannot apply more than 3 s.h. to biology elective requirement. Applicability of LA credit determined when project is identified. Prerequisites: advanced standing and departmental permission.
-
3.00 Credits
3 s.h. Biological basis for human heredity. Course will examine the transmission of traits in human lineages (pedigree analysis), the molecular basis for genetic disease (molecular genetics), chromosomal defects (cytogenetics), and genetic variation in populations (population genetics). Current topics such as the human genome project, cloning and stem cell research, DNA forensics, and gene therapy will be discussed. ( LA) Prerequisite: BIOL 212.
-
2.00 Credits
2 s.h. The selection, preparation, maintenance, and proper use of laboratory equipment and supplies in biology; application of technologies in the biology laboratory, practice in developing demonstrations and presentation of topics; planning of inquiry-based laboratory exercises. Field trip may be required in which students share the costs. Corequisite: SCIN 315.
-
3.00 Credits
3 s.h. Botanical field techniques, the vegetation of North America, and the flora of Upstate New York. Terminology of description, use of taxonomic keys, techniques of specimen preservation, field recognition of plant taxa and communities and controlling ecological factors, economic and wildlife significance of dominant taxa, principles of classification and nomenclature. Two weekend filed trips required. Two hours of lecture and three hours lab per week. Lab format will include individual or small group projects including a plant collection. This course satisfies the upper level Botany elective requirement for Biology majors. It is expected that this course will be offered every other fall semester. ( LA) Prerequisites: BIOL 105 or BIOL 200, and BIOL 201 - 299.
-
3.00 Credits
3 s.h. Three-four week field trip instruction and project work; consideration of ecological principles and concepts of ecosystem functioning in major life zones of the region, including identification of major plant and animal components in each. Costs shared by students. Prerequisites: 3 s.h. BIOL and permission of the instructors. Corequisite: GEOL 333.
-
3.00 Credits
3 s.h. A three- to four-week study of the eastern seaboard's terrestrial and marine flora and fauna. Examines the interaction of physical and chemical processes with these organisms in estuaries, rocky intideral zones, sandy shores, tidal marshes, barrier dunes, and maritime forests. Journal and report required. ( LA) Prerequisites: one 3 s.h. BIOL course, and minimum of 9 s.h. in Science, and permission of instructor. Corequisite: GEOL 338, 3 s.h.
-
4.00 Credits
4 s.h. Lecture examines the role of nucleic acids and proteins in biological processes. Current models of the organization and expression of genes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes will be discussed. The lab applies molecular methods and recombinant DNA technology to solving biological problems. Labs require occasional out-of-class time. ( LA) Prerequisites: BIOL 201 or BIOL 212.
-
3.00 Credits
3 s.h. This course will examine the mammalian immunological defense system. Topics covered include origin and development of the humoral and cellular immune responses, normal immune responses to pathogens, and health problems associated with over-reaction and under-reaction of the immune system. ( LA) Prerequisites: BIOL 100, BIOL 105 or BIOL 200, and BIOL 212.
-
4.00 Credits
4 s.h. Introduction to zoological study of animal behavior. Topics include communication, behavior, social organization, and human ethology. Behavioral observations are emphasized in the laboratory. ( LA) Prerequisites: BIOL 105 or BIOL 200 and one (200-level) BIOL lab course.
-
4.00 Credits
4 s.h. Morphology, nutrition, metabolism, taxonomy, ecology, genetics, immunology, and epidemiology of microorganisms, including both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Laboratory studies include basic microbial techniques. ( LA) Prerequisites: BIOL 105 or BIOL 200 and CHEM 221 or CHEM 226 or BIOL 201 or BIOL 211 or BIOL 212.
