  • BIO 226: Human Physiology

    4.00 Credits
    Doane University

    This is a non-majors course in human physiology. Upon completion of this course, students will understand the major function of each organ system and how each system contributes to homeostasis of the organism. Students will engage in investigative lab experiments to understand physiological concepts such as movement across a membrane, reflex arcs, neural conduction, muscle contraction, electrocardiograms and other cardiovascular measurements, and urinalysis. Students will apply these concepts to case studies of human disease and injury. Prerequisite: BIO 101. Offered spring term.

  • BIO 260: Genetics

    4.00 Credits
    Doane University

    Genetics is the study of inheritance - how traits are passed from parents to offspring. In this course inheritance will be examined in terms of classical or transmission genetics and also at the molecular level through the study of structure, function and expression of the DNA molecules themselves in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Additional topics will include genomics, genetic engineering, cloning, gene therapy, population, conservation and evolutionary genetics. Students completing this course will have a thorough understanding of classical and molecular genetics concepts, experience with basic genetics laboratory techniques and be prepared to continue with upper level biology electives. Prerequisites: BIO 120 or permission. Offered fall term.

  • BIO 308: Animal Behavior

    4.00 Credits
    Doane University

    Questions concerning the behavior of individuals and populations are explored in a mechanistic and evolutionary context. The relationships of animal behavior studies to ecology, taxonomy, evolution, and genetics are investigated, as well as the anatomical and physiological basis of behavior. Upon successful completion of this course, students will develop an understanding of the behavior of animals in field and laboratory and will also become aware of the adaptive significance of behavior. Prerequisite: BIO 120, 121, permission. Offered alternate fall terms.

  • BIO 317: Introduction to Immunology

    4.00 Credits
    Doane University

    People and other animals, constantly besieged by disease-causing microorganisms, are more often healthy than ill. This course introduces the student to the reasons for this relative state of good health: a complex array of organs (bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes, etc.), cells (lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, etc.), and chemicals (antibodies, lymphokines, etc.) that constitute the immune system. Upon successful completion of this course students will understand the structures and functions of the innate and acquired immune systems, and the implications for health and disease. Prerequisite: BIO 120, 121, 260. Offered alternate fall terms.
