0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory study of the comparative morphology of representative members of the phylum Chordata. Lectures incorporate the developmental and evolutionary bases of anatomy. Useful background for pre-health majors and those enrolling in BIO 449 or BIO 461. This course by content and by instruction is designed to provide a useful foundation for students that go on to take BIO 449, Animal Physiology and/or BIO 467, Developmental Biology. For students who want a thorough background in vertebrate biology, it also serves as the compliment to BIO 483, Vertebrate Natural History. 3R, 3L. P: BIO 211 and 212.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Biological concepts and principles exemplified by both invertebrates and vertebrates with emphasis on animal diversity, morphology, evolution, and ecological relationships. 3R, 3L. P: BIO 211 and 212.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Modern biological concepts and principles exemplified by the plant kingdom with emphasis on plant diversity, taxonomy, and evolution. 3R, 3L. P: BIO 211 and 212.
-
4.00 Credits
Microbiology is the study of organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. Despite their small size, these organisms are ubiquitous and play important roles in human health, industry, and the functioning of ecosystems. This course is designed to cover a wide range of material in lecture and through laboratory exercises, introducing students to the breadth of microbial diversity and physiology, as well as the basic techniques used in microbiology. 3R, 3L. P: BIO 211 and 212 .
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasizes the fundamental importance and experimental underpinnings of knowledge in cell biology. The course consists of four segments; 1) common techniques in cell biology research, 2) basic principles of cell structure and function including membranes, vesicular transport, protein sorting, and the cytoskeleton, 3) how cells multiply, assemble into tissues, and interact with their environment, and 4) cell motility, the immune response, and cancer.3R. P: BIO 211.
-
4.00 Credits
A summer field course that examines lakes in the North Central Rocky Mountains regions of the United States. This course is a combination of lectures and field and laboratory studies of the physical, chemical and biological properties of lakes in a landscape context. The effects of human impacts on lake ecology and ecosystem health are emphasized. The course includes field work at lakes and regional field stations in northern Iowa (Iowa Lakeside Laboratory on West Okoboji Lake), the Boundary Waters and Lake Superior in Minnesota, the hyperalkaline Western Nebraska Sandhills, and alpine lakes in the Colorado Rockies (University of Colorado's Mountain Research Station at Niwot Ridge).
-
3.00 Credits
Course presents a balanced, scientific approach to the study of the environment and stresses the application of ecological concepts within a systems perspective. Topics include ecological concepts, population principles, endangered species and habitats, resources, air and water pollution, environmental health, and global perspectives.3R. P: BIO 211 and 212 or CHM 205/206.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
BIO 401 Biometry will be offered in the Spring 2005. Introduction to measurement theory as applied to biological studies. Data acquisition, analysis, and display procedures. Introductory statistical methods emphasizing sampling procedures, frequency distributions, measure of central tendency, analysis of regression lines, log dose-response curves (graded and quantal), bioassay. Lectures supplemented by problem-solving sessions. (Qualifies as laboratory course). 3R, 3L. P: BIO 211 and 212.
-
3.00 Credits
Description of contemporary concepts and techniques in molecular biology. Topics include gene structure, coding, regulation, protein synthesis, mutation, recombination, recombinant DNA technology, transposable elements and chromosome structure. 3R. P: BIO 317.
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory activities using contemporary methods of genomic inquiry. Emphasis on fundamental aspects of gene structure and function.3L. P: BIO 317 or 417.
