4.00 Credits
An introduction to biology through the practice of research in quantitative genetics. Working in small teams, students will study continuously varying traits of many kinds in natural populations of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) and experimental populations of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana). How do such traits vary, and how do genetic and environmental factors contribute to this variation? Each team will design its own programs of data collection, analyze its data using the statistical computing language R, and report its finds in writing and in verbal presentations to the whole class. By engaging both in the social and the technical aspects of scientific practice, students will prepare themselves to learn more easily and more deeply from their subsequent courses. Prerequisites: Instructor Consent AND Member of Honors College.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure of cells and organelles in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, function of cellular components, cell shape and movement, and differentiation and development in cell systems. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in ((BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR BME 1020 OR AP Biology score of 4+ OR IB Biology score of 5+) AND (CHEM 1210 OR CHEM 1211 OR AP Chemistry score of 4+)).
-
4.00 Credits
Lectures will explore the relationship between cell structure and function, using examples from prokaryotes and eukaryotes (plants, animals, and fungi). Discussions will focus on the experimental foundation underlying current models of cell structure and function, and the impact of advances in cell science on modern society. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in ((BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR BME 1020 OR AP Biology score of 4+ OR IB Biology score of 5+) AND (CHEM 1210 OR CHEM 1211 OR AP Chemistry score of 4+)) AND Member of the Honors College OR Instructor Consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of classical genetics including the rules of inheritance, transmission genetics, and genes in populations. Also covers molecular analysis of gene structure, function, expression, and evolution. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR AP Biology score of 4+ OR IB Biology score of 5
-
1.00 Credits
This a companion course to BIOL 2030 and is intended to be taken concurrently. Students will read scientific literature that is related to topics contemporaneously taught in BIOL 2030. The class will meet once a week to discuss the assigned papers. Topics may include classical prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics, molecular genetics, developmental genetics, population and evolutionary genetics, genome analysis and genome engineering. Enrollment is limited to encourage participation. Prerequisites: Instructor Consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of genetics with emphasis on human examples and applications. Covers Mendelian inheritance, the molecular basis of gene function, genetic engineering, population genetics and evolution. Considerable attention is given to the process of scientific inquiry and to relevant social issues. It is recommended that BIOL 2020 or 2021 be completed prior to taking this course. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR AP Biology score of 4+
-
4.00 Credits
Rigorous, in-depth coverage of structure and function of the human body. Laboratories use prosected human body parts. It is recommended that BIOL 1610 is completed prior to taking this course.
-
2.00 Credits
The botany and ecology of our regional flora from alpine tundra to salt desert habitats. Numerous afternoon field trips provide the context for learning techniques of plant identification as well as ecological and land use issues concerning Utah's plant communities.
-
4.00 Credits
Principles of human function. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in ((BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR AP Biology score of 4+ OR IB Biology score of 5+) AND (CHEM 1110 OR CHEM 1130 OR CHEM 1210 OR CHEM 1211 OR AP Chemistry score of 4+)).
-
1.00 Credits
One three-hour laboratory weekly. Optional physiology laboratory. Blood, cardiovascular, respiratory, nerve-muscle, endocrine, reproductive, digestive, sensory, immune, clinical molecular techniques. Corequisites: "C-" or better in BIOL 2420.
