4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 210, BIOL 215 A course dealing with structural, biochemical and physiological characteristics of cell function in photosynthetic organisms. Special emphasis will be placed on cell walls, nutrient metabolism, photosynthesis, growth regulation, and totipotency. The laboratory portion of the class will stress the practical manipulation of plant cell function. Three lecture and three laboratory hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 103/113, BIOL 104/114; BIOL 210 strongly recommended An introduction to morphological and physiological characteristics of bacteria, fungi, viruses and rickettsia. Special emphasis on medically important microbes, disease production, disease treatment, and disease transmission. Six class and laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 220 An introduction to the biomechanics underlying animal locomotion in aquatic, aerial, and terrestrial systems. The study of form and how it can be used to understand adaptations in various environments will be covered, including insights into fossil specimens. Three lecture hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 210, BIOL 215 The development of a fertilized ovum will be followed through the zygote, embryo, and fetal stages with particular attention to germ layer differentiation into specialized tissues. The regulation of development will be emphasized. The laboratory will follow the developmental stages of organisms using histological methods.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 220 A course that introduces the diversity of interactions that occur among prokaryotes, fungi, protists, plants and animals in various combinations. The interactions considered will cover the spectrum from obligate mutualism to obligate parasitism. Three lecture hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 220, BIOL 225 An examination of current topics in ecology with an emphasis on physiological, behavioral, and evolutionary ecology. The laboratory will integrate common field techniques with experimental design. Three lecture and three laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 220 An introduction to the theoretical and applied aspects of the preservation of biological diversity. The emphasis will be on the ecological and evolutionary background to species and habitat conservation, current threats to biodiversity, and evaluation of conservation efforts. Three lecture hours.
-
4.00 Credits
