-
3.00 Credits
A course that promotes a basic understanding of the ecosystem as a whole. The study will include interactions of ecosystem constituents (both community and population), their contributions and/or detriments to the ecosystem, biogeochemical cycles, and energy flow through ecosystems. Aquatic and terrestrial habitats will be studied both in lecture and in laboratory field trips. Prerequisite: BIO 1510-20 and CHE 1010-20 or CHE 1040-50 or equivalents. (Spring, odd numbered years). Fee charged.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of mammalian tissue and microscopic identification of cells, tissues and organs. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: BIO 1510-20 or equivalent. (Fall, odd numbered years). Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
A course that promotes the understanding of ecosystems as a whole and the influence of humans as top predator to either balance and preserve or disrupt and destroy these systems. The study will include interactions of ecosystem constituents, both community and population, and their contribution or detriment to the system. Emphasis will be placed on the use of biodegradable materials in all aspects of our life cycle and analysis of energy and resource flow that is more sympathetic with natural systems. Aquatic, terrestrial, and urban habitats will be studied in laboratory and field trips always with a focus on some measurable significant improvement within each semester. Lecture and lab. Fee charged.
-
3.00 Credits
Models for biological processes based on ordinary and partial differential equations. Topics selected from models of population growth, predator-prey dynamics, biological oscillators, reaction-diffusion systems, pattern formation, neuronal and blood flow physiology, neural networks, and biomechanics. Prerequisite: MAT 3020, BIO 1520. Fall, odd numbered years. Cross listed as MBI 3600 and MAT 3600.
-
3.00 Credits
Models for biological processes based on discrete mathematics (graphs, combinatorics), probabilistic and optimization methods, Markov chains and Markov fields, Monte-Carlo simuation, maximum-likelihood estimation, entropy, and information. Applications selected from epidemiology, inheritance and genetic nucleic acids, energy optimization in protein structure prediction, and topology of biological molecules. Prerequisites: MAT 1520, MAT 3000, BIO 1520. (Offered alternate years.) Cross listed as MBI 3500 and MAT 3500.
-
4.00 Credits
First course in a comprehensive biochemistry sequence. Topics of study will include the structure and function of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids; enzyme mechanics; the kinetics and regulation of biological reactions; and the principles of bioenergetics. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: CHE 2010 or equivalent. (Fall, odd numbered years). Fee charged. Cross listed as CHE 3510.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of metabolic pathways and their regulation; nucleic acid structure, function and processing; regulation of gene expression; and current technologies used to study and combat diseases resulting from deficiencies in normal biochemical processes. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: BIO 3510/CHE 3510. (Spring, even numbered years). Fee charged. Cross listed as CHE 3520.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the human immune system. The structure, physiology, and basic immunity principles will be discussed. Modern research and theories will be incorporated into the lecture. Basic immunological laboratory tests and procedures will be the focus of the lab. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: BIO 2820 ( 2010, and 2020 strongly recommended). (Fall, even numbered years.) Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
Mendelian (classical) genetics is emphasized. Additional topics include chromosome mapping in eukaryotes, chromosomal mutations, extranuclear inheritance, quantitative genetics, and population genetics. Genetic principles are applied to selected human traits as well as those of other organisms. Several genetic disorders of humans are considered. Lecture and lab. Fee charged.
-
4.00 Credits
Molecular genetics is emphasized. Topics include DNA structure, replication, and variation; expression and regulation of genetic information; recombinant DNA technology; and applications and ethics of biotechnology. Selected techniques in molecular genetics are included. Lecture and lab. Fee charged.
