4.00 Credits
I. 4 hrs. PR: (BIOL 101, 102, 103, and 104) and BIOL 115. Evolution, morphology, life cycles, ecology, and uses of cyanobacteria, lichens, algae, bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Laboratory emphasizes comparing living specimens with local field trips.
-
4.00 Credits
II. 4 Hr. PR: BIOL 117 or PLSC 206. How plants (especially angiosperms) develop, stand up, defend themselves, transport food and water, and reproduce; also evolution and uses of wood and bark. Students observe development from spores, seeds, and cuttings. Two local field trips.
-
3.00 Credits
S. 3 Hr. PR: BIOL 101 and BIOL 103 and BIOL 102 and BIOL 104 or BIOL 115. Identification of local woody and herbaceous seed plants, with emphasis on common native and introduced species. Conducted primarily through field trips to nearby areas with the use of dichotomous keys to determine the scientific names of observed specimens.
-
4.00 Credits
I. 4 Hr. PR: BIOL 221. Introduction to the four divisions of plant ecology, including physiological ecology, population ecology, community ecology, and ecosystem ecology.
-
4.00 Credits
I. 4 Hr. PR: (BIOL 101 and BIOL 103) or BIOL 115 or WMAN 224 or consent. Physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of inland waters with emphasis on the structure and function of stream ecosystems. (Also listed as WMAN 446.)
-
3.00 Credits
II. 3 Hr. PR: BIOL 221. World-wide distribution patterns of plants and factors related to these distributions- including dispersal. Limiting factors, climate, isolation, evolutionary history, plate tectonics, pleistocene glaciations, and human activities. Plant communities and soils of polar, temperate, and tropical biomes are discussed.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
I, II. 1-4 Hr. PR: Written consent of chair and a 2.7 grade-point average in biology. Individual laboratory or field experiments supervised by a faculty member.
-
3.00 Credits

-
4.00 Credits
I. 4 Hr. PR: BIOL 219. An introductory course covering the basic principles and techniques of recombinant DNA technology, includes molecular cloning, isolation of plasmid DNA, agarose/acrylamide gel electrophoresis, restriction enzyme mapping, nucleic acid hybridization, and DNA sequencing.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Hr. PR: BIOL 221. Students gain hands-on experience in methodologies used to study cell structure and function. Light and florescence microscopy are used to address cell signaling, signal transduction, exocytosis, apoptosis, and regulation of gene expression in reproductive endocrinology.
