5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3013 and 3203, or permission of the instructor. Introduction to evolutionary developmental biology (EVO DEVO), study of the developmental basis of evolutionary changes and how developmental mechanisms and developmentally important genes evolve. Latest techniques and methods in evolutionary biology, embryology, developmental biology, molecular genetics, population biology, phylogenetics and genomics. No student may earn credit for both 4253 and 5253. (Sp-odd numbered years)

9.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 12 hours of biology. A descriptive survey of bacterial, plant and animal cells. Emphasis will be given to the ultrastructural morphology of cellular organelles and their functional significance. (F)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3333 required; 3013 recommended. History of population and ecological genetics; genetic systems; emphasis on experimental aspects of population genetics and measurement of selection and levels of genetic variation in different ecological situations; development of quantitative characters; genetic load; drift; enzyme variation; chromosome variation. (Irreg.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 3333. Covers the regulatory control of development in simple viral and bacterial operons, but emphasizes eukaryotic development and genetic organization. Topics will include DNA and chromosome structure, intron processing, nuclear-cytoplasmic interaction, pattern formation and aging. (Sp)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 1114 and 1121, or 1124 and permission of instructor; 3333 or 3403 recommended. Selected protocols and data interpretation using molecular techniques to study protein and DNA variation in natural populations and the application of molecular techniques to research problems in ecology, systematics, animal behavior, conservation biology, and related areas. Graduate students enrolled in 5353 will have additional project expectations and written work. Taught at the OU Biological Station. No student may earn credit for both 4353 and 5353. Laboratory (Su)
