3.00 Credits
A study of the transmission and molecular basis of human genetic traits and genetic diseases. Various simple and complex genetic disorders will be examined using pedigree, molecular, and biochemical analyses. Novel approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of human genetic disorders will be discussed. Special topics examining the ethical, legal, and social issues and concerns of genetic testing and discrimination, germ line therapy, genetic enhancement, and human cloning will be examined. Writing enhanced. Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 345 and Junior standing. This course offering is tentative pending final approval from the University Curriculum Committee. Credit 3.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to basic ecological concepts through the study of microbial communities. Interactions at the microscopic and macroscopic levels will be discussed along with biogeochemical cycles. Bioremediation concepts will also be explored. Two one-hour lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: BIO 161/111, 162/112, 244, and 247 or 347, CHM 239/219, and Junior standing. Credit 3.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced study of the microorganisms that cause disease and of the disease processes with focus on bacteria and viruses. Emphasis will be placed on pathology, epidemiology and treatment/prevention of specific infectious diseases of medical importance. Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 347 and Junior standing or consent of the instructor. This course offering is tentative pending final approval from the University Curriculum Committee Credit 3.
-
4.00 Credits
Morphology, life cycles, physiological adaptations, evolution, and distribution of parasitic animals. Three-hour laboratory. Odd year, Fall. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111, 162/112, and Junior standing. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the functional processes of organisms within the context of ecological and evolutionary theory, focusing on mechanisms of organismal function, energetics, and the energetic consequences of homeostasis when function is influenced by the environment and other ecological and evolutionary processes. This course is designed for students preparing for graduate studies in integrative biology and does not meet the physiology requirement or recommendation for physiology of medical/dental or allied health programs. Three-hour laboratory. Writing enhanced. Spring. Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C in BIO 345 and 340; BIO 461 strongly recommended, Junior standing. This course offering is tentative pending final approval from the University Curriculum Committee Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of eukaryotic cell structure and function, including protein synthesis, membrane structure and function, intracellular trafficking, cell communication, cell motility, mitosis, and cell cycle control, with emphasis on the use of model organisms. Three-hour laboratory. Writing enhanced. Fall. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111, 162/112, 244, 345, CHM 138/118, 139/119, and Junior standing. Credit 4.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will help the student understand the philosophical issues associated with defining and applying theoretical terms and constructs within evolutionary biology. Writing enhanced. Even year, Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C BIO 161/111, 162/112, 244, and 8 hrs. advanced biology, and Junior standing. Credit 3.
-
3.00 Credits
Evolution is the core theory of modern biology. Students will be introduced to the major principles of evolutionary biology, from the history of evolutionary thought through theory and current concepts of evolution. Emphasis will be placed on molecular and cellular evolution, mechanisms of evolution including natural selection, gene flow, founder effect, and speciation. Writing enhanced. Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111, 162/112, 244, and 8 hrs. advanced biology, and Junior standing. Credit 3.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the mechanisms and functional explanations of behavior. Experimental approaches to addressing questions of behavior will be emphasized. Topics will include behavioral genetics, neuroethology, migration, habitat selection, foraging, communication, social behavior, reproductive strategies, and human sociobiology. Field studies and independent projects will be integral components of this course. Two-hour laboratory. Writing enhanced. Fall. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111, 162/112, and Junior standing. Credit 3.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will explore the diversity of invertebrate types morphologically, embryologically and physiologically. The ecological role of invertebrates will be emphasized. Two-hour laboratory. Even year, Fall. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111, 162/112, and Junior standing. Credit 3.
