For non-science majors. Biological principles are applied to practical understanding of body functions and the importance of exercise, nutrition, etc. Current human concerns such as AIDS, cardiovascular disease, and cancer are discussed and related to recent scientific evidence. May be used in partial fulfillment of graduation requirements in science. Fall, Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to biological principles fundamental to understanding evolution, ecology, and the diversity of life. Topics include natural selection, speciation, and the history of life on earth; an introduction to ecological concepts at the individual, population, community and ecosystem levels; the classification, anatomy and physiology of plants; and an overview of the diversity of bacteria, protists, fungi, and animals. Lecture and Laboratory. Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to biological principles fundamental to understanding molecular biology, cell biology and physiology. Topics include the biochemistry, structure, energetics and division of cells; the principles of heredity and molecular genetics; and the structure and function of major animal organ systems. Lecture and laboratory. Fall, Spring.

-
4.00 Credits
Comparative anatomical study of adult vertebrates including man with some reference to functional implications; review of phylum Chordata, classification and evolutionary trends; brief introduction to embryonic development emphasizing significance of germ layers and tissues to an understanding of the comparative anatomy of the organ systems of chordates. Three lectures and one laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 111. Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
A descriptive morphological and experimental physiological study of the ontogenetic development of representative vertebrates including such topics as postembryonic development, regeneration, metamorphosis and the relationship between inheritance and development.
