-
4.00 Credits
Study of the amount and distribution of genetic variation in populations of organisms, and of how processes such as mutation, recombination, and selection affect genetic variation. Lectures present both an introduction to theoretical studies, and discussion of molecular and phenotypic variation in natural populations. Labs make use of computer modeling and simulation, and experiments using populations of fruitflies and other model organisms as appropriate. P-BIO 113 and 213. (QR)
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture course examines the growth, development, and physiological processes of plants. Control of these processes is examined on genetic, biochemical, and whole plant levels. P-BIO 112, 213, and 214.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory course examines the growth, development, and physiological processes of plants. Control of these processes is examined on genetic, biochemical, and whole plant levels. Labs consist of structured experiments and an independently designed research project. Lab-three hours. P-BIO 112, 213, and 214.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the vertebrate body from an evolutionary, functional, and developmental perspective. Labs emphasize structure and function, primarily through the dissection of representative vertebrates. Lab-three hours. P-BIO 112 and 113.
-
4.00 Credits
Survey of protozoan, helminth, and arthropod parasites from the standpoint of morphology, taxonomy, life histories, and host/parasite relationships. Lab-three hours. P-BIO 112 and 113.
-
4.00 Credits
Analysis of the relationship between organismal form and function using principles from physics and engineering. Solid and fluid mechanics are employed to study design in living systems. Lab-three hours. P-BIO 112.
-
4.00 Credits
Survey of laboratory and field research on animal behavior. Lab- three hours. P-BIO 112 and 113.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the hormonal regulation of behavior in a broad range of animals, including humans and invertebrates. Topics include reproductive behavior, parental behavior, social behavior, sex differences, aggressive behavior, stress, mood, and the regulation of molting in insects. P-BIO 112.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the field of biological rhythms, covering different types of rhythms, their evolution, and the mechanisms by which such rhythms are generated and regulated at the molecular, cellular, and system levels. P-BIO 213, 214, or POI.
-
4.00 Credits
Structure, function, and taxonomy of microorganisms with emphasis on bacteria. Topics include microbial ecology, industrial microbiology, and medical microbiology. Lab emphasizes microbial diversity through characterizations of isolates from nature. P-BIO 213 and 214; CHM 122.
