-
3.00 Credits
Accompanies BIOL 1341. Introduction to biology as a scientific process as revealed through inquiry-based laboratories. Investigations include pH and buffers, macromolecules, microscopy, enzyme kinetics, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, cellular reproduction, Mendelian genetics, DNA extraction and DNA fingerprinting. Corequisite: BIOL 1341 or permission of instructor. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Accompanies BIOL 1342. Continuation of inquiry-based investigations of biology as a process. Studies include population genetics using DNA technology, plant and animal diversity, terrestrial ecology and foraging strategies. Corequisite: BIOL 1342; Prerequisites: BIOL 1341, 1141 or permission of instructor. Spring. The laboratory and lecture for each semester are necessary for credit in the course. They are taught concomitantly and integrally. Exception is made for either a laboratory or lecture course to be repeated to remove a "D" or an "F" grade if the student passthe accompanying course or lab with at least a "C" grade.BIOL 1341, 1141, 1342 and 1142 are prerequisites for all other biology courses. No credit by examination may substitute for any prerequisite for upper division biology courses, regardless of whether a student is a major or nonmajor.
-
