-
4.00 Credits
Variations in vertebrate structure; phylogenetic history of the vertebrates; anatomical principles, dissection laboratory. Three lectures and three laboratory hours per week. Offered fall semester in alternate years with BIOL 3140. Prerequisite: BIOL 1220. Prerequisite with concurrency: BIOL 2800.
-
4.00 Credits
Exploration of fundamental themes in physiology (homeostasis, structure-function relationships, consequences of scale, feedback systems) in an integrative and comparative context. Laboratory time provides hands-on, experimental engagement with these same issues. Six hours of class time per week with discussion and lab time combined. Offered fall semester in alternate years with BIOL 3120. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of animal behavior including behavioral development, physiological mechanisms of behavior, the adaptive value of behavior and the evolution of behavior. Class periods are a mixture of lecture, discussion and small group work based on text readings and current literature. Laboratory focuses on developing skills in observation, description, measurement and analysis of behavior in a variety of animals. Three class and three laboratory hours per week. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900 and one statistics course.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of microbial structure, physiology, growth and control of growth, with particular emphasis on bacteria and viruses. Topics include genetics and biotechnological applications, pathogenicity, microbial diseases and host responses. Microbiological concepts and laboratory techniques are integrated in a hands-on, interactive approach to learning. Two three-hour sessions per week. Offered on alternate years in fall semester. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900.
-
4.00 Credits
Problem-based learning about the cells and tissues of the immune system and how they interact to generate an immune response. Topics include antibody structure and function, nature of antigens, innate immunity, humoral and cellular immunity, immunological responses to transplantation and tumors, immunopathology, immunodeficiencies, hypersensitivity and immunological technologies. Techniques discussed and applied to research questions in the laboratory include Western blotting, ELISA, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, use of transgenic mice and adoptive transfer techniques in immunological research, and flow cytometry. Three class and three laboratory hours per week. Offered in alternate years with BIOL 3350. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900.
-
4.00 Credits
Microscopic anatomy of vertebrate tissues and organs with emphasis on humans. Includes discussions on tissue function and histogenesis. Laboratory includes processing tissue samples for examination as well as a microscopic survey of tissues in organ systems. Three class and three laboratory hours per week. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the patterns and processes of evolution. Major topics include evolutionary history, variation in natural populations, mechanisms of evolution (population and quantitative genetics) and adaptation. Laboratory work may include experimental analysis of mechanisms of evolution, interpretation of evolutionary patterns found in the fossil record and experimental study of molecular evolution. Three class and three laboratory hours per week. Offered winter semester in alternate years with BIOL 3050. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900 and a course in statistics.
-
4.00 Credits
Problem-based learning about cell structure and function at a molecular level. Topics include structural and functional genomics with emphasis on regulatory and structural sequences, genomic and cDNA libraries, SNPs, bioinformatics, RNA processing, regulation of gene expression, cell networks, siRNA and microRNAs, microarray technology, protein conformation and functional domains, post-translational modification of proteins, proteomics, and molecular applications in medicine and forensics. Techniques applied to research questions in the laboratory include Western blotting, DNA sequencing, PCR, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and protein purification. Three class and three laboratory hours per week. Offered in alternative years with BIOL 3220. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900.
-
4.00 Credits
With a focus on human metabolism, this course explores biochemical functioning as it relates to physiology - incorporating examples from nutritional and health sciences. Topics include protein structure and function, biochemistry of lipids, carbohydrate metabolism, and the role of DNA and RNA in protein synthesis. Included is a discussion of techniques in molecular biology and how the use of these techniques relates to both nutrition and healthcare. Three class hours per week. Same as CHEM 3400. Prerequisites: CHEM 1110, 1120, 2010, 2020.
-
4.00 Credits
This class offers an in-depth look into how plants function. You will gain insight into plant metabolism and biochemistry relating to growth, development and responses to the environment. Three class and three laboratory hours per week. Offered in alternate years with BIOL 3100. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900.
