3 credits The effects of radiation, particularly ionizing radiation, on molecules, cells, tissues, and the whole organism are studied. A brief background of the nature, sources and absorption of radioactive energy is presented. Some emphasis is also placed on the understanding and use of modern instrumentation and techniques available for biological research and fluorescence analysis. The class meets for three lectures weekly. B310 is strongly recommended. Prerequisites: B110/111 and B120/121.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits A course that examines the causes of environmental problems and the interconnections among environmental issues, with the goal of providing a framework for the search for long term solutions. Two lectures/discussion sessions per week. Prerequisites: a course in ecology and junior or senior standing.
-
1.00 Credits
1 credit A course that permits presentations and discussions of ecological and environmental topics, with an emphasis on the primary literature. In any given semester, the course may be organized around a particular issue or involve consideration of a significant book or other work. One meeting per week. Prerequisites: a course in ecology. Junior or senior standing required.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits This course provides an introduction to the biology of amphibians and reptiles, with an emphasis on the ecology, distribution, and conservation of the species found in Minnesota and neighboring states. One lecture/discussion period and one lab period per week, with the possibility for some evening or weekend field trips. Prerequisites: a course in ecology or instructor's consent.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits A course on the classification, morphology, physiology, and ecology of fishes. Two lectures and one laboratory period per week. Laboratory activities may include individual student projects and the collection and identification of Midwestern fishes. Prerequisites: a course in ecology or instructor's consent.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits An examination of the principles, methods, and problems of environmental toxicology is presented. Topics include: pollutant dynamics in ecosystems and individuals, dose-effect relationships, sublethal toxicity, interactions between pollutants, ecosystem responses, and others. The laboratory emphasizes professional methods of contaminant analysis and toxicology. Three lecture/discussions and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits All aspects of genetics as they pertain to the human are discussed. These topics include the human genome, inborn errors of metabolism, Mendelian inheritance, human cytogenetics, gene mapping, complex traits, consanguinity, cancer genetics, behavioral genetics, and gene therapy. In every case, connections are made to applications and issues pervading society. Class meets for two lectures/ discussions weekly. Prerequisites: B310.
