-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 1811 and 1821; 9 additional hours of biology, and upper-division standing. Development, structure, function, behavior and ecology of insects, including a systematic survey of the orders of Insecta. Three hours of lecture per week.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 4422 (may be taken concurrently). Laboratory to accompany BIOL 4422. Studies of the morphology, physiology, and behavior of insects to give a sampling of biological studies of the class Insecta. Formation of a collection of insects, comprising a systematic survey of orders and principal families, will be an integral part of the course and will require additional time beyond the official lab hours. Three and one-half hours of lab per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 1811, 1821, and 10 additional hours of biology and upper-division standing. BIOL 3622 strongly recommended. A broadly based course emphasizing the phylogeny, life history, ecology, and physiology of parasites of medical and veterinary importance. Modern aspects of experimental parasitology, immunoparasitology, and parasite molecular biology will be addressed.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 1811, 1821 and junior standing or consent of instructor. Focusing on the flowering plant families of North America, the aim of the course is to give an understanding of their phylogeny and diversification. Student will also gain an understanding of plant morphology and anatomy, a basis for further developing their knowledge of plants. Three hours of lecture and three to four hours of laboratory per week. Students may need to return to the laboratory at unscheduled times.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 1811 or 1821 or equivalent; BIOL 3302 or 2501 recommended. The evolution of flowers, and flowering plants, is the result of mutualistic plant-animal interactions. This course explores all aspects of the function of flowers, integrating findings and approaches from ecology, systematics, plant physiology, and animal behavior. flower color, scent, and nectar, deceptive pollination systems, pollen-stigma interactions and incompatibility systems, flowering plant mating systems (including selfing and apomixis), and pollination by insects, vertebrates, wind, and water. Two hours of lecture per week and one hour of laboratory per week to be arranged. Does not fulfill a laboratory requirement for biology majors.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 2482, BIOL 2012. Examination of the strategies bacterial pathogens use to infect animals. Topics include host immune responses to infection, bacterial virulence factors, regulation of bacterial virulence, and the cellular and molecular approaches used to study host-parasite interactions. Three hours of lecture per week.? Students may not receive credit for both BIOL 6550 and BIOL 4550.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 3302 or 2501 or equivalent. Examination of the evolution of, and relationships among, major lines of seed-bearing plants, both extinct (Bennettitales, Cordaites, etc.) and extant (conifers, cycads, ginkgo, Gnetales, and flowering plants). Criteria for the assessment or morphological homology are examined, and wherever possible the evolution of morphological structures is related to their function. Includes introduction to cladistic methods and practical exercises in the analysis of large morphological data matrices using PAUP & MacClade. Two hours of lecture per week and one hour of laboratory per week to be arranged. Does not fulfill a laboratory requirement for biology majors. Students may not receive credit for both BIOLl 4552 and BIOL 6552.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 2012 and 4712. A study of the principles of molecular biology, with emphasis on understanding the genetic regulation of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis and function in the eukaryotic cells. Three hours of lecture per week. Students may not receive credit for both BIOL 4602 and BIOL 6602.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 2482 and BIOL 2012. A study of the molecular biology of gene replication, transfer, and expression in bacterial cells. Topics include DNA replication, transcription and translation, mutagenesis, DNA repair and recombination, gene transfer, and the regulation of genes and global expression systems. Three hours of lecture per week. Students may not receive credit for both BIOL 4612 and BIOL 6612.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 2012 or consent of instructor. An introduction to the fundamental concepts that underlie the field of biotechnology. Both the basic principles of molecular biology and hands-on experience with the techniques of the field will be addressed through lectures, discussions, and a series of laboratory exercises. Two hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Fulfills a laboratory requirement only; may not be used to fulfill the 4000 level or above lecture course requirement for the B.A. or B. S. degree in biology. Students may not receive credit for BIOL 4614 and a comparable biotechnology course from another institution.
