4.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their cellular biochemistry, with emphasis on the genetic flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein and the regulatory events, including cell-cell communication, that instruct these pathways. Develops skills in the use of the scientific method. For science majors.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 111 before 2015-16.)
Prerequisite:
( CHEM 111 or CHEM 113 )
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the science of genetics, with an emphasis on the basic principles of Mendelian genetics, the genetics of populations, molecular genetics, and the genetics of development. For science majors.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 263 before 2015-16.)
Prerequisite:
( BIOL 202 or BIOL 111 )
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the standard approaches for hypothesis testing in biological research, including experimental design, data collection, and data analysis. Emphasizes the analysis and interpretation of ecological data sets. Computer instruction focuses on software programs commonly used for biological data analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the diversity, form, and function of vascular and nonvascular plants. Focuses on the evolutionary innovations that distinguish different taxonomic groups of plants. Topics include plant anatomy and physiology, growth and development, plant classification, plant ecology, and genetically modified foods. Discusses ways that plants are important to humans, ranging from food and lumber to sequestering carbon dioxide. An in-depth exploration of crop plants, including the science of biotechnology.
Prerequisite:
( BIOL 111 ( BIOL 201 and ( BIOL 112 and BIOL 202 ) or ( BIOL 111 and BIOL 112 )
-
3.00 Credits
The lecture-only course examines how to collect and analyze biological evidences found on clothing, bones, insects, plants, weapons, and other surfaces to help identify victims and support criminal investigations. Covers a variety of subjects intimately linked including forensic anatomy, odontology, anthropology, pathology, entomology, botany, and environmental contamination. Presents case studies for each set of biological materials like insects, plants, bones, and fluids. Features in-depth discussion and writing.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the evolution, form, and function of all major animal phyla, from sponges through chordates. Interactive lecture-laboratory sessions follow a phylogenetic approach to the animal kingdom and incorporate essentials of animal ecology, physiology, functional morphology, and behavior.
Prerequisite:
( BIOL 111 or BI 111 ) and ( BIOL 112 or BI 112 )
-
4.00 Credits
Surveys indoor and outdoor environmental health hazards. Hazards are addressed from the standpoint of their source and nature, human health effects, measurement and control, and management.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of the mechanisms, but with the human organism functions. Mechanisms covered range from the molecular/subcellular to the tissue, organ, and organism levels. Organ systems examined include the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, renal, digestive, and reproductive. Emphasizes three major themes: (1) that organ functions are dependent on the underlying molecular and cellular processes, (2) that all organ systems use biological control systems to maintain organ homeostasis, and (3) that each organ function is closely controlled and dependent on the interaction/integration with functions from other organ systems.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 151 before 2015-16.)
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to medical microbiology that focuses on the structure, biology, and genetics of microbes in relation to human disease and to bacteriology as well as bacterial, viral, fungal pathogens and the mechanisms of disease. Prepares student for advance study in microbiology and the health sciences. Standard methods and techniques are emphasized in laboratory.
Prerequisite:
( BIOL 105 or BI 105 ) and ( CHEM 101 or CH 101 )
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to microbiology focusing on the fundamental principles of microbial structure, modes of reproduction, genetics, and physiology. Emphasizes the importance of microbes in ecological, industrial, immunological, and epidemiological processes. Standard microbiological methods and techniques are emphasized in laboratory.
Prerequisite:
( BIOL 111 or BI 111 ) and ( BIOL 112 or BI 112 )
