4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) A survey of the structure, function, and evolutionary relationships of the major plant divisions.Three lectures and one laboratory (for which field trips may be substituted). Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) A course involving the collection, identification, and ecological relationships of plants as observed in nature. One lecture and one six-hour field trip/week. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits Study of the microanatomy of animal cells, tissues, and select organs/organ systems.The correlation between structure and function is an overriding theme; genetic, molecular and developmental aspects of cells and tissues also will be addressed. Students will learn to recognize and identify cells, tissues and organs, and will refine their light microscopy skills in the lab. Prerequisites: BIO 103-104
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) This course familiarizes students with terrestrial and marine tropical biology. A nine-day trip to a tropical destination provides extensive field experience.The trip is a required component of the course. Students are charged room/board and airfare in addition to their tuition. Prerequisites: At least one semester of biology and permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits This course examines a broad spectrum of symbiotic associations - types and characteristics of symbioses, their integrated and interdependent development, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, ecology, and evolution will be considered. Prerequisites: BIO 103-104.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits More than 95 percent of the animals on the planet earth do not have backbones - they are invertebrates.This course investigates principles of animal design and patterns of phylogenetic relationships among the major animal phyla.The course will combine field and laboratory studies of animal structure and function. Prerequisites: BIO 103-104 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits An investigation of marine communities and the important physical and chemical variables influencing marine organisms. Lecture topics will include: effects of the aquatic environment in terms of body form, life history, and ecology; the relationship between physical and biological structure; nutrient cycling; and oceanic productivity. Course combines field and laboratory study at the ecosystem and individual organism level. Prerequisites: BIO 103-104 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits Presents the basic principles of classical and molecular genetics with an emphasis on experimental design, data analysis, and problem solving. Recent advances in molecular and human genetics will be discussed with the use of research papers from the literature. Laboratory exercises will introduce students to the basic techniques and experimental protocols of molecular biology and genetics. Prerequisite: BIO 200.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits Designed as an introduction to Darwinian evolutionary theories.Topics include the rise of evolutionary biology, molecular and Mendelian genetics, evidence for evolution, natural selection,molecular evolution, adaptation, macroevolutionary change, speciation, fossil record, biogeography, and classification. Intended for biology majors and minors. Prerequisites: BIO 103-104 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits Designed to familiarize students with the principles of development in biological systems. In lectures and laboratories, the process of the emergence of mature from less mature stages in the living organism is considered at various levels: molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal. Emphasis on the description and experimental bases of developmental processes. Prerequisite: BIO 200.
