4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. All Biochemistry and Molecular Biology majors are required to enroll in Senior Seminar during one semester of their senior year. Senior Seminar is intended to be a broad, integrative experience in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, requiring both oral and written work. Prerequisites: Completion of the required courses or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 - 8.00 Credits
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4-8. Open to candidates for honors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Includes supervised honors research and instruction in an appropriate field of study.Prerequisites: Permission of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Committee.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall or Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science. Topics in Biology courses provide an in-depth understanding of a topic in the Biological Sciences. As in other introductory biology courses, each Topics course details fundamental principles and concepts in the discipline but in the context of a specific topic. Topics in Biology may be taken as elective credit by students majoring in Biology provided they have not already taken an upper level Biology course of similar content; however, Topics in Biology will not satisfy upper-level course requirements for the major in Biology.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall or Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F7. Similar to Biology 104 but includes a laboratory component.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Fall. Credits: 3, 1. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F7 (after completing lab and lecture). An examination of the structure and functions of life at the cellular level. Topics include the organization of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the roll of proteins in cell structure and metabolism, membrane structure and function, bioenergetics, interactions between a cell and its environment, and the mechanisms of heredity. Laboratory work provides an introduction to investigative techniques in biology and skills required for the analysis and presentation of scientific findings. Biology 130 and 131 are linked co-requisites.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Spring. Credits: 4, 1. Degree Requirements: Natural Science. A study of biological principles at the level of organisms and above. This course covers the mechanisms of evolution; plant and animal development, anatomy, and physiology; behavior and ecology. Laboratory stresses the importance of hypothesis testing. Biology 140 and 141 are linked co-requisites. Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall or Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Natural Science, F2 (some sections). A study of the evolutionary process from the historical development of the Darwinian concepts of change and natural selection to a modern synthetic analysis of the mechanisms of populational change, the process of speciation, the origins of life and extinction. Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131 or 140, 141.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Spring. Credits: 4, 1. Degree Requirements: Natural Science. The study of life's "fifth kingdom": the fungi and fungus-like protists. Even though they share an equal evolutionary standing with plants and animals, to most persons fungi remain amongst the most mysterious and ill-defined of nature 's inhabitants. Just what is a fungus anyway? Where do they live, and what are they doing out there? This course will provide answers to questions like these, as well as provide examples of the practical uses of fungi in industry and research and of the roles that some of them play as agents of disease. The laboratory emphasizes the development of skills in the isolation and characterization of fungi from nature. (Course offered in alternate years; scheduled for 2009-2010Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring. Credits: 4. A study of the diversity of vertebrates including past and present radiations. This course focuses on the various and diverse adaptations in behavior, ecology, morphology and physiology that allow vertebrates to successfully inhabit water, air and land. (Course offered in alternate years; scheduled for 2008-2009.) Prerequisites: Biology 140, 141.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Spring. Credits: 4, 1. An overview of developmental processes directed at exploring the cellular and subcellular mechanisms which control development. Modern experimental approaches and current models will be emphasized. Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131 and 140, 141.
