1.00 Credits
This is the second semester laboratory component of a two-semester lecture and laboratory sequence in integrated science. Topics investigated in this lab include history and origins of life, ecology and the environment, human biology and Mendelian genetics. Emphasis is placed on the integration of these concepts across the physical, chemical and biological disciplines. This course is required to be taken concurrently with 02-122. Prerequisite: 17-120, 17-121.
-
1.00 Credits
The basic principles of cellular structure and function are presented. Students develop an understanding of the molecular basis of life, the cell cycle, and the structure and function of organelles, tissues, organs and organ systems. These principles are studied in the context of the theories of biological evolution. This course is designed for Chemistry and Physics majors with Secondary Education minors and does not fulfill the General Education Science requirement. Prerequisite: Chemistry or Physics majors; permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed for Secondary Education minors majoring in either Chemistry or Physics who need some background in the environmental sciences. The course examines the strategies and adaptations used by organisms to obtain the basic requirements of life. It does so in the context of living and non-living factors interacting with one another and their dynamic environment through population, community, ecosystem and ecoregion processes. Emphasized throughout the course is the fact that humans are part of these systems and interact with the environment. This course does not fulfill the General Education Science requirement. Prerequisite: Chemistry or Physics major; permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed for Secondary Education minors majoring in Biology, Chemistry or Physics who need some background in Earth Sciences. Topics include the structure, composition and transfer of energy within and among the Earth's land, water and atmospheric systems. It covers the interrelationships among the Earth's resources and how these relationships are influenced by the physical changes that occur over geologic time. This course does not fulfill the General Education Science requirement. Prerequisite: Biology, Chemistry or Physics major; permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course the student will be introduced to the basic functions of cells as well as a variety of techniques that scientists utilize to manipulate these functions to create and mass produce biological-based goods and services. The student will recognize the enormous range of applications of biotechnology as well as the social, ethical and economic influence that these applications have world-wide. Prerequisite: 02-107, 02-108, permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, the student will continue the survey of biotechnology and learn additional ways that scientists manipulate cellular functions to create and mass produce biological-based goods and services. The student will recognize the enormous range of applications of biotechnology as well as the social, ethical and economic influence that these applications have world-wide. Prerequisite: 02-200, permission of instructor
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the mechanisms of inheritance in plants, animals and man, this course emphasizes the cytological basis of inheritance, gene linkage, crossover, chromosomal aberration, genetic coding and gene action at the molecular level, as well as developmental genetics. Prerequisite: 02-115.
-
1.00 Credits
Students will engage in laboratory exercises designed to convey fundamental concepts in genetics while gaining experience with modern techniques pertaining to cytogenetic analysis, transmission, molecular and population genetics. Prerequisite: Enrollment in 02-220.
-
4.00 Credits
Students learn about the Earth as a system with four major parts: atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. The interactions and interdependencies of the four parts are emphasized. Map reading and GIS are covered. Some fieldwork may be included as well. Prerequisite: 02-116.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides study of the morphology, physiology, genetics, culture, and control of prokaryotes, viruses, and eukaryotic microbes. The pivotal role of microbiology to biotechnology is also considered. The relationships between pathogenic microorganisms and their hosts are studied, as well as host defense mechanisms. Prerequisite: 02-220, 02-221, 03-220, 03-221.
