-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Intended to provide experience in research or special techniques in biology on an individual basis. NOTE: PREREQUISITE: CONSENT OF THE INSTRUCTOR
-
4.00 Credits
(Area 3.2 for teacher certification students only) This course concentrates on concepts in life science that are typically included in the elementary and middle school science curriculum. Enrollment limited to students who are preparing to teach in K-8 or special education. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: SOPHOMORE STANDING OFFERED EVERY FALL SEMESTER
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the function, integration and coordination of the organ systems of the human body with an emphasis on homeostatic control mechanisms. This course includes an experimental laboratory in which basic human physiological responses are studied. NOTES: PREREQUISITES: BIOL 120 AND EITHER BIOL 121 OR BIOL 150; CHEM 120 AND EITHER CHEM 145 OR CHEM 201 OFFERED EVERY FALL SEMESTER
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers classical Mendelian analysis, mitosis and meiosis, genetic mapping, non-Mendelian inheritance, chromosomal structure and mutations, the structure of DNA and RNA, transcription, translation, molecular gene cloning and analysis, human genetics and the Human Genome Project, and population and quantitative genetics. The course includes 3 hours of laboratory per week, focused on experience in genetic mapping, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: BIOL 121 OFFERED EVERY FALL SEMESTER
-
4.00 Credits
The course begins with an introduction to the techniques used in studying cells and the elements of bioenergetics. Then the ultra structure and function of all major eucaryotic organelles are described in detail. This survey includes the principles of cell metabolism and its regulation, membrane transport, and the cell cycle. The course concludes with specialized topics such as the biology of cancer and the cellular mechanisms of hormone action. The laboratory acquaints students with techniques employed in cell biology. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: BIOL 233 AND CHEM 145 OR 201; OR CONCURRENT WITH CHEM 145 OFFERED EVERY SPRING SEMESTER
-
4.00 Credits
This course is intended to acquaint the student with the biology and importance of bacteria and viruses. Particular emphasis will be placed on disease mechanisms, the nature of the most important diseases afflicting humans, immunology, and selected aspects of applied microbiology with public health implications (e.g., drinking water and sewage treatment). The laboratory will introduce a wide variety of standard microbial techniques. NOTES: PREREQUISITES: BIOL 225 OR 234; CHEM 120, AND EITHER 145 OR 201 OFFERED EVERY SPRING SEMESTER
-
4.00 Credits
A study of vertebrate morphogenetic processes. Emphasis is placed on study of a generalized vertebrate structure pattern and examination of some of the morphological specializations built upon this basic plan. Laboratory emphasizes chick development and anatomy of the Ammocoetes larva, the dogfish and the cat. Development - evolution interactions are explored throughout the course. Special lab activities support work in this area. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: BIOL 121 OFFERED EVERY FALL SEMESTER
-
4.00 Credits
Astudy of the role and mechanism of the major processes of vascular plants from a functional and structural approach. The integration of plant growth, reproduction, and physiology are stressed. Agricultural and environmental implications are emphasized. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: BIOL 121 OFFERED SPRING SEMESTER, ODD YEARS
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to acquaint the student with the biology and importance of viruses and procaryotic and eucaryotic microorganisms including their structure, taxonomy, physiology, genetics, and ecology. Emphasis will also be given to the mechanisms of disease and resistance. The course is intended for junior and senior biology majors. The laboratory introduces viruses, bacteria, and a wide variety of microbiological techniques. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: BIOL 234 OFFERED EVERY FALL SEMESTER
-
4.00 Credits
Analysis of developmental processes including gametogenesis, fertilization, cleavage, morphogenetic movements, growth, and developmental regulation. Major emphasis is placed upon the nature and control of cell differentiation. Laboratory work emphasizes experimental studies on living materials. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: BIOL 234 OFFERED SPRING SEMESTER, ODD YEARS
