-
5.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of BIO 174. Designed for biology majors, BIO 175 provides an in-depth coverage of evolution, diversity of life, animal behavior and ecology.
-
5.00 Credits
This course offers a survey of the diversity of organisms in the animal kingdom. Emphasis is placed on evolutionary interrelationships, locomotory, nutritional and reproductive strategies of the major groups. This course will fulfill the elective requirement for the Associate of Science degree.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a molecular biology course designed to introduce major concepts in DNA structure and function, gene expression, recombinant DNA, biotechnology, techniques and applications of genetic engineering, medical biotechnology (gene therapy), forensics and DNA profiling, and the impact and potential of the human genome project.
-
1.00 Credits
This is a general laboratory course designed to introduce students to the principles of biotechnology. Topics include sterile techniques; DNA isolation and purification; bacterial culture techniques; transformation, purification and isolation of plasmid DNA; DNA restriction analysis; Gel electrophoresis, PCR and RFLP analysis; and animal cell and plant tissue culture techniques. This course may require additional hours outside of scheduled times.
-
5.00 Credits
This is the first course of a two-quarter sequence which presents a detailed, in-depth exploration of neuromuscular physiology, brain and special senses, and the cardiovascular, circulatory and respiratory systems. This class and BIO 212 are suitable as transfer prerequisites for BS Nursing/Allied Health and pre-professional programs.
-
5.00 Credits
This is the second course of a two-quarter sequence (continuation of Biology 211) offering a detailed, in-depth exploration of renal, endocrine, reproductive and digestive physiology, thermal regulation and metabolism.
-
5.00 Credits
BIO 215 is a general microbiology course for biology majors (non-microbiology majors). Topics covered include taxonomy, morphology and staining, culture techniques, bacterial metabolism, and physical and chemical methods for microbial control. General concepts in immunology, including host defense mechanisms and hypersensitivity, are also covered. Related laboratory is required, including identification of unknown bacteria. Students enrolled in distance versions of this course will be required to come to campus for an orientation meeting, completion of certain exams and laboratories. Laboratories are generally done on an every other week basis on campus.
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents a basic study of the concepts of microbial disease. Topics covered are host-parasite interactions and resistance and immunity to disease, including the development of the immune system and mechanics of antigen-antibody reactions. Additional topics for detailed discussion are human airborne, foodborne, or waterborne infections and human contact diseases.
-
5.00 Credits
BIO 250 covers the principles of genetics, including molecular genetics, transmission genetics of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, developmental and nonchromosomal genetics, and the genetics and evolution of populations.
-
5.00 Credits
BIO 253 presents the nutrient and food energy needs of human biological systems throughout the life cycle with consideration of socio-psychological factors. Consideration also is given to the role of nutrition in preventive health care and various alterations in health and disease states.
