4.00 Credits
Examines the basic principles and problems of classical, biochemical, and molecular genetics. Note: Required for majors in Biology.
Prerequisite:
Completion of BIOLOGY 1111 (0101) and 2112 (0102) with a grade of C or better in each, and CHEM 2201 (0121) with a C- or better
Corequisite:
CHEM 2202 (0122)
-
4.00 Credits
This course, with Biology 1911 (H101) or Biology 1111 (0101), makes up the introductory series for Biology majors. Both courses in the series must be completed with a grade of C or better before students will be allowed to take the second level of required courses in the Biology curriculum, Biology 2296 (2203, 0203) and 3096 (W204). Biology 2912 (H102) is designed to be taken in the fall of the sophomore year. This course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics. Topics covered include the structure of important biological macromolecules, enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, photosynthesis, cell changes during mitosis and meiosis, DNA replication, transcription, translation and genetic analysis. Note: (1) This course can substitute for Biology 2112 as part of the introductory series for Biology majors. There are weekly laboratories. (2) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Science & Technology Second Level (SB) requirement. To determine if this course in combination with another course can satisfy the GenEd Science & Technology requirement, see your advisor.
Prerequisite:
Successful completion of one year of college chemistry [CHEM 1031 (C071), 1032 (C072)] or equivalent, with a grade of C or better in both semesters; and completion of MATH 1022 with a grade of C or better or placement into MATH 1041
Corequisite:
Concurrent enrollment in Organic Chemistry [CHEM 2201 (0121)], or equivalent
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Research under the direction of a faculty member in the Biology Department. Students must obtain a sponsor and approval of the Biology Undergraduate Committee. Note: Not available for Biology major credit.
Prerequisite:
Written permission of Department Undergraduate Committee Chair required
-
3.00 Credits
A tutorial opportunity for a student to work with a faculty member to investigate areas of study not covered by courses in the department. Available as an elective for Biology major credit by petition to the Biology Honors Committee prior to registration. The student must make a written agreement with a Biology faculty member detailing the course of study to be followed and the mechanism of evaluation. Note: Agreement must be submitted to the Biology Undergraduate Advisor and the Biology Honors Committee for approval. This course can be taken a maximum of two times; only one of these can count toward Biology elective requirements.
Prerequisite:
Junior or senior standing and an overall GPA of 3.2
-
3.00 Credits
Research Methods is required for all of the TUteach with Teaching majors. It is one of several content courses specially designed to meet the needs of future teachers. Sections meet two hours per week for non-traditional, interactive lectures and two hours per week for lab. The course is cross-listed in Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, and Physics. The goals of the course are (1) to provide students with the tools that scientists use to solve scientific problems; (2) to give students the opportunity to use these tools in a laboratory setting; (3) to make students aware of how scientists communicate with each other through peer-reviewed scientific literature; and (4) to enable students to understand how scientists develop new knowledge and insights, the most important of which are eventually presented in textbooks and taught in conventional science classes. Students design and carry out four independent inquiries, which they write up and present in the manner that is common in the scientific community. The inquiries incorporate mathematics and the various science disciplines, thus the team of instructors teaching this course have expertise in different disciplines and are available to supervise all students as they work on their inquiries in the lab. The combination of Research Methods and the TUteach course “Perspectives on Science and Mathematics” (Philosophy 2196) provides prospective science and mathematics teachers with an in-depth understanding of how the scientific enterprise works.
Prerequisite:
SCI TEC 1189
-
4.00 Credits
The chemistry and biological functions of important small molecules and macromolecules of the cell. Concept: the functions of cells are rooted in structures, and the structures themselves derive their characteristics from their chemical components. Note: Required for majors in Biology.
Prerequisite:
Completion of BIOLOGY 1111 (0101) and 2112 (0102) with a grade of C or better in each, and CHEM 2201 (0121) and 2202 (0122) with a C- or better
Corequisite:
PHYSICS 2021 (0121)
-
3.00 Credits
Topics covered include Darwinism and neo-Darwinian theory, including adaptation, natural selection, sexual selection, speciation, and techniques used to understand evolution of living and extinct organisms.
Prerequisite:
BIOLOGY 2296 (2203, 0203) with a C or better
-
3.00 Credits
Highlights the major environmental factors that affect plant growth and development and explores ecologically sound approaches to solving stress-related problems. Focuses on techniques for designing experiments to examine the impact of environmental stress on the growth and development of a plant, and on techniques for manipulating a microenvironment in the production of horticulture crops.
Prerequisite:
BOTANY 1111 (C101) and 2121 (C203), and CHEM 1021-1024 (C061-C064)
-
3.00 Credits
Systematic botany, evolutionary relationships of angiosperm families. Identification, classification, and nomenclature based on analysis of plant structure, genetics, physiology, and ecology. Identification of local native flowering plants; preparation of preserved specimens.
Prerequisite:
BOTANY 1111 (C101) and junior status, or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Independent research carried out in an off-campus laboratory. A Biochemistry faculty member and the research director of the off-campus laboratory will jointly supervise research. Written permission must be obtained in advance from the supervising faculty member and one of the co-administrators. Student must present a seminar on campus describing the scientific aims of the project, the experimental design, and the conclusions drawn from the experiments. Note: Restricted to Biochemistry majors enrolled in the Cooperative Program.
Prerequisite:
Written approval must be obtained in advance from the faculty member and the Biochemistry Committee
