-
4.00 Credits
An investigation of biological principles of animal behavior through the study of physiological, genetic, developmental, ecological and evolutionary processes. One laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the basic biology of insects, with an emphasis on the interrelationships between insects and humans. These interrelationships include the beneficial roles of insects in agriculture, their negative impact as pests and disease vectors, and ways in which insect populations and activities can be controlled. One laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of organismal form and function (physiology) and the interaction of organisms with their environment (ecology). We take a comparative approach to the diversity of physiological systems that have evolved in different organisms to meet the environmental challenges that they face (energy, water balance, excretion of wastes, communication, reproduction, gas exchange, defense). We also consider how the interactions between organisms and their physical and biological environment (other organisms) affect the distribution and abundance of populations and ecosystems. Three lectures and one discussion period per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 101 or 110.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the central role of genetics in modern biology. Topics include an examination of how genetic information is expressed and regulated, how it directs organismal development, how it is passed from one generation to the next, and how it is modified via the evolutionary process. Three lectures and one discussion period per week. Prerequisite: Biology 220.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the molecular components of replication and gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The molecular aspects of gene structure, function, and regulation are emphasized, as are current methods for the study of these topics. One laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 220, 221, and Chemistry 231.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes with particular emphasis on their interactions with other organisms and the environment. Microbial life is investigated and related to the topics of antibiotic action and resistance, biodegradation of toxic compounds in the environment, and the interaction between microorganisms and plant and animal immune systems. One laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 220, 221, FS Bio 201 and Chemistry 231.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of the development of organisms, with an emphasis on the molecular, cellular, physiological and genetic aspects of developmental processes. One laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 220, 221, FS Bio 201 and Chemistry 231.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. Topics include current methods in cell biology and molecular genetics, the structure and function relationships of major organelles and cytoskeletal elements, interactions between cells, regulation of cell division and cell death, and signal transduction pathways. One laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 220, 221, FS Bio 201 and Chemistry 231.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the mechanisms of inheritance at the molecular, organismal, and popluation levels. One laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 220, 221, FS Bio 201 and Chemistry 231.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the interrelationships of organisms and environment. Interactions are studied at the individual, population, and community levels. Onelaboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 220,221 and FS Bio 201 (or Environmental Science 110) and Mathematics 158 or 160.
