-
3.00 Credits
The structure and function of cells, including the properties of macromolecules, membrane structure, cell organelles, cell metabolism and energy relationships, cell division and gene expression. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: BI 120 & BI 122. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction of the cellular and molecular mechanisms important in the development of members in the plant kingdom, from multi-cellular algae to flowering plants. The laboratory will include techniques important in investigating developmental phenomena such as scanning electron microscopy and tissue culture. Prerequisites: BI 120 & BI 122. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the basics of both classical and modern genetics, with emphasis on human heredity. Prerequisites: BI 120 and BI 122. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the new, rapidly expanding fields of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, as well as the overarching field of systems biology. The students will also learn what these new approaches reveal about how genes and genomes evolve. Prerequisites: BI 120 and BI 122. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to how plants work, including housekeeping functions (photosynthesis, mineral nutrition, water relations, metabolism), growth and reproduction, defenses, and responses to the environment. Laboratories include necessary anatomy but emphasize biochemistry and molecular biology. Prerequisites: BI 120 & 122, and CH 106 or CH 107. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental concepts of ecology and their application to environmental problems, illustrated by field and laboratory investigations. Prerequisites: BI 100 or BI 120 & BI 122. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Course introducing students to the vast array of physiological adaptations that enable animals to survive under a variety of environmental conditions. Adaptations to environmental parameters will be addressed with the goal of understanding how such adaptations affect patterns of distribution and abundance among animals. Prerequisite: BI 120 & BI 122. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
This course will focus on the biological principles that must be the anchor for the management and/or preservation of native flora and fauna. Conservation biology, however, is by necessity a multidisciplinary endeavor, and the course also deals with the social, political, and economic factors that weigh on conservation decisions. Prerequisite: BI 120 & BI 122. (U) (4 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Open to juniors and seniors who wish to do research with a biological sciences faculty member in an area of the animal and plant sciences. Permission of the faculty member and the chairman of the biological sciences department required. (U) (1,2,3)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of a current biological topic. Prerequisites: junior, senior or graduate standing and permission of the instructor. (U) (1,2,3,4.5)
