  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course on natural history, taxonomy and ecological relationships of vertebrate animals. Field collections, identification and preservation of specimens will be an integral part of the course. Prerequisite: BIOL 121.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course on the relationships of plants and animals to one another and to their physical environment. Field trips and laboratory work provide firsthand knowledge of organisms and their ecological significance in the De Pere area. Prerequisite: BIOL 121 or BIOL 180. Fall semester. Required for Biology majors in the Organismal Biology concentration.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course demonstrating the basic principles of the gene structure, gene action and gene transmission as found in various organisms. Topics covered include DNA structure, replication, transcription and translation, recombinant DNA technology, bacterial genetics and genome structure. Discussions of Mendelian inheritance changes in chromosome structure and number are followed by an introduction to population genetics. Laboratory exercises include DNA electrophoresis, PCR, bacterial transformation and inheritance in both Drosophila and plants. Prerequisite: BIOL 120. Spring semester. Required for all Biology majors.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course designed to provide a sound foundation in ecological concepts and biology of tropical ecosystems around the world. The ecosystems to be studied include: tropical dry forests, cloud forests, savannas, mangroves and coral reefs but special emphasis will be placed on tropical rain forests. Nutrient cycles, production, trophic interactions, plantanimal interactions, biodiversity and conservation biology are discussed. Prerequisite: BIOL 121 or Instructor's consent. Alternate years.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory study of the gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy of the human body. The course uses a regional approach with emphasis on the upper limb, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, lower limb and brain. Students learn to identify muscles, nerves, vessels organs and tissues of the human body. The laboratories involve cadaver dissections and light microscopy. One-third of the course includes information/laboratory work emphasizing human histology. Recommended for preprofessional students interested in healthrelated professions and students interested in medical illustration. Prerequisites: BIOL 220 with grade of C or above, BIOL 372 and Instructor's consent. Spring semester.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course dealing with the physical, chemical and biological aspects of freshwater ecosystems and the interrelationships of organisms in these habitats. Field trips and laboratory experiences will provide firsthand knowledge of aquatic organisms and their ecological significance. Prerequisite: BIOL 121 or BIOL 180. Fall semester. Every other year.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course dealing with the study of prokaryotic organisms, including morphology, physiology, genetics and application. Labs include preparation of media, cultivation and staining of microbial organisms and the study of their morphology and physiology. Prerequisite: BIOL 121. Fall semester.
  • 11.00 Credits

    A lecture and discussion course that deals with advances and application of biotechnology in the context of the entire living world, both the society of human beings and the larger, living environment. Due in large part to the ability to clone genes, as well as many plants and animals and to genetically engineer these organisms (perhaps even humans), biotechnology is revolutionizing both the means and pace of our intervention in this global community. Students become aware of the techniques and advances of biotechnology and are better prepared to make informed decisions about its application. This course also provides students with the necessary scientific background to understand the ethical problems posed by biotechnology.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course dealing with the morphology, taxonomy, evolution, physiology and ecology of free living invertebrates (exclusive of insects). Labs include field trips and sampling of local fauna. Prerequisite: BIOL 121.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and laboratory course dealing with the interaction between microbial pathogens and the human host. Topics studied include the development and normal functioning of the immune system and allergic reactions and their relationship to microbial pathogens. A survey of the important bacteriological, mycological and viral pathogens in terms of their mechanisms of disease production is also included. Prerequisites: BIOL 350; CHEM 216 or 220.
