-
3.00 Credits
A study of heredity principles, including molecular aspects, basic Mendelian genetics, and population genetics. Genetic models from viruses to humans are used. The laboratory is a balance of experiments, learning molecular techniques as well as working out Mendelian principles. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 1113, BIOL 1123, and CHEM 1113. (Fall, Even years)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to ecological principles for all organisms in the environment, including a survey of the diversity of ecosystems. Topics will include study of energy flow, biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem development, populations, communities, and biomes. The laboratories will expose the student to factors that define ecosystems, methods of quantifying abiotic and biotic characteristics of ecosystems, and computer based models of ecological systems. Field trips to survey different ecosystems in the East Texas region will provide hands-on experiences. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 1113 and BIOL 1123. (Fall, Odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated approach to the integumentary system; bones, joints and connective tissues; muscles and the muscular system; and the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous system and special senses. Includes physiological adaptations of organisms to their habitat as well as some histology, histopathology, radiology and clinical correlations. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 1111, BIOL 1113, BIOL 1121, BIOL 1123, CHEM 1111, and CHEM 1113. (Fall, Even years)
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated approach to endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive and developmental anatomy and physiology. Includes physiological adaptations of organisms to their habitat as well as some histology, histopathology, radiology and clinical correlations. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 3614. (Spring, Odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
To expose students considering a career in the medical professions to issues and realities of the medical professions. To prepare students for practicum experience in clinical settings. Class 1. Prerequisite: Department Chair Approval. (Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
An independent research course where the student designs a science unit for an upper-level elementary or secondary course focused in earth or life science. The objective is to find and integrate print and electronic resources to present concepts and actively engage the learners with the concepts appropriate to their level. Class 1. Prerequisite: 8 hours of lab science. (On Demand)
-
3.00 Credits
To expose students considering a career in scientific research to issues and realities of this professional arena. Topics include the scientific method, searching the literature, writing scientific proposals, the principle investigator, approaching analysis of data, presenting results, and the publication process. This course also prepares students for supervised undergraduate research. (Same as CHEM 3951 and PHYS 3951.) Class 1. Class 1. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing. (Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of the anatomy, physiology, diversity, and taxonomy of plants. Emphasis will be on vascular plants but will include algae and fungi as groups traditionally studied with higher plants. Laboratory work will include isolation, collection and taxonomy of major groups, physiological studies on representative organisms, anatomical and taxonomic techniques for manipulating most organisms. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 1113 and BIOL 1123. (Spring and On Demand, Odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the field of biochemistry including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, enzymes, nucleic acids and their roles in metabolism. The laboratory reinforces the lecture but focuses on techniques for isolating and manipulating biomolecules including enzyme kinetics. (Same as CHEM 4304.) Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 1123 and CHEM 2123. (Fall, Odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of mainly eukaryotic cell structure and function. Topics include the biochemical basis of cell structure, gene structure and expression, cell membrane structure, and mechanisms of cell-to-cell signaling. The laboratory will cover aspects of histology, physiology, and molecular biology of eukaryotic cell systems. Class 3. Lab 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 1113, BIOL 1123, and BIOL 4304. (Spring, Even years)
