-
5.00 Credits
Early embryo development with consideration of gametogenisis, fertilization, gastrulation, cell differentiation, and organogenesis. Four lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 161/171, 162/172, 163/173 (all with C- or better). (spring)
-
5.00 Credits
Course content includes natural and sexual selection, evolutionary genetics, experiments in evolution, evolution and health, macroevolution, and special topics of our choice. The course format includes lectures, student-led presentations and discussions, and original laboratory research. Student presentations explore the scientific literature, debate their conclusions, and provide practice giving effective talks. The laboratories allow students to research, design, conduct, statistically analyze, and write scientific papers on experiments in evolution. Four lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 161/171, 162/172, 163/173 (all with a C- or better). (fall)
-
5.00 Credits
Comparative study of the structures of the integumentary, muscular, skeletal, digestive, respiratory, excretory, reproductive, circulatory, and nervous systems of selected vertebrates with emphasis on evolutionary relationships between organisms. Four lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 161/171, 162/172, 163/173 (all with C- or better). (winter)
-
5.00 Credits
Study of the fundamental body tissues. Three lecture and four laboratory hours per week. Recommended BIOL 310 or 325. (winter)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the discipline of epidemiology and it relationship to the field of public health. A survey of the various sub-disciplines of epidemiology and the research methods used in the field. Prerequisites: BIOL 240 and MATH 120, junior standing. (winter)
-
4.00 Credits
The examination of cellular structure as seen through the electron microscope. Introduction to theory of operation of the electron microscope, interpretation of electron micrographs, comparisons of fine structure of different cell types, correlations of structures with cellular functions, examples of research applications. Lecture/demonstration format; three lectures and one demonstration period per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 161/171, 162/172, 163/173 (all with C- or better) and instructor permission. (winter)
-
5.00 Credits
Course goals include gaining a broad understanding and an increased fascination for why animals behave as they do, and the skill to create and answer questions in this field of biology. The course examines how genetics, development, ecology and evolution shape behaviors including communication, choosing mates, avoiding predators, finding food, and social interactions. Four lecture and three laboratory hours per week. One weekend field trip. Prerequisites: BIOL 161/171, 162/172, 163/173 (all with a C- or better). (spring)
-
5.00 Credits

Transport mechanisms; water and mineral management; responses to light, including photosynthesis, photoperiodism, and photomorphogenesis; functions of plant hormones; responses to environmental stresses; events in development. Four lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Individual project. Prerequisites: BIOL 161/171, 162/172, 163/173 (all with C- or better); CHEM 337/347 or CHEM 232/242. (spring)
