-
3.00 Credits
A study of methods and techniques used to produce plants, animals, and microbes with recombinant or modified DNA. Students also examine issues that are directly related to DNA manipulation, including gene selection and cloning, intellectual property rights, GMO product development, food safety and security, federal government regulation, ecological impacts, ethical and religious concerns, media treatment, and consumer perception. Non-laboratory course. Prerequisite: Biol 132. (Credit, full course.) Staff
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the disciplines of Ecology and Biodiversity through readings from the primary scientific literature, presentations from research scientists, and engagement with advanced field and laboratory techniques. Prerequisite: Biol 130 or 131. Open only to declared Ecology/Biodiversity or Biology majors. (Credit, full course.) Staff
-
3.00 Credits
A comprehensive survey of trends in vascular plant diversity and the evolutionary mechanisms underlying these trends. Laboratory course. Prerequisites: one course in biology or permission of instructor. (Credit, full course.) Evans
-
3.00 Credits
A study of animal behavior from an ecological and evolutionary perspective. Lecture focuses on the ecological interactions that affect the evolution of behavior. Lectures include student presentations on readings from the scientific literature. Laboratory emphasizes field methods used to study animal behavior, including experimental design and statistical analysis. A field research project is required. Laboratory course. Prerequisite: Biol 130 or 131. (Credit, full course.) Haskell
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers general physiological concepts such as homeostasis, control theory, and system analysis. It also takes a detailed view of how these general principles apply specifically to various physiological systems in humans and other mammals in some cases. Systems such as respiration, circulation, digestion, metabolism, thermoregulation, and excretion are studied at cellular, tissue and whole system levels. In cases where form is especially critical to function, anatomy is also covered, although there is no human dissection. Not open for credit to students who have completed Biol 314. Prerequisite: Biol 132, and Chem 102 or 111, or permission of instructor. (Credit, full course.) Berner
-
3.00 Credits
A study of how the cycling of elements among the atmosphere, soil, water and living organisms sustains ecosystems, and how disruptions in these cycles, both natural and human-induced, bring about environmental change. The course examines environmental consequences of alterations in regional and global biogeochemical cycles, such as loss of ecosystem productivity and diversity, degradation of air and water quality, and global climate change. Field labs allow students to evaluate the sustainability of land use locally by quantifying elemental cycles in natural and human-altered ecosystems. Laboratory course. This course cannot be taken for credit by a student who has already received credit for Biol 312. Prerequisites: one course in Chemistry and one course in Biology; Forestry may be substituted for Biology with instructor permission. (Credit, full course.) McGrath

Prerequisites: Biol 132 and two semesters of college chemistry, or instructor permission. (Credit, full course.) Berner
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the biochemical reactions of eukaryotic cellular metabolism and bioenergetics, focusing on enzyme regulation and function, protein structure, nucleic acid structure and function, and selected topics in molecular biology and physiological biochemistry. Prior coursework in cell/molecular biology is recommended. Laboratory course. Prerequisites: Biol 132 and Chem 202, or permission of instructor. (Credit, full course.) Lively
-
3.00 Credits
An extension of topics introduced in Biol 132 relevant to the structure, function, and organization of eukaryotic cells. Modern cellular and molecular biology techniques are applied in the laboratory to establish the tools of the cell biologist and understand aspects of yeast and mammalian cell function. Laboratory course. Prerequisites: Biol 132, and Chem 102 or 111, or permission of instructor. (Credit, full course.) Lively
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the vertebrate immune system with emphasis on molecular and cellular events. Topics include organization of the immune system, structure and function of immunoglobulins, genetics of immunoglobulin diversity, clonal selection theory, complement-mediated processes, the major histocompatibility complex, cell-mediated responses, immunization, innate immunity, autoimmunity, and immunodeficiency. Laboratory course. Prerequisites: Biol 132 or permission of instructor. (Credit, full course.) Palisano
