-
3.00 Credits
Includes systems of classification, distinguishing characteristics of groups, observation, and classification of vascular plants of the Black Hills and environs. Offered during the summer at the Wheaton College Science Station in South Dakota. Prerequisite: BIOL 242. (3)
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of plant biology (plant anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, taxonomy, and ecology) that relate to uses of plants for food, fodder, drugs and other chemicals, lumber, and other uses. Three lectures, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 242. Alternate years. S 2011.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic concepts of the ecology of populations, communities, ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. Field work, laboratory experience, and computer simulation models enhance the understanding of selected topics. Three lectures, three hours laboratory and field work. Prerequisites: BIOL 241, 242, 243 and 252 or ENVR 241 (concurrent). F 2009.
-
3.00 Credits
Includes classification and identification of major groups of endo-and ecto-parasites. Life-cycles and ecology of parasite transmission will be emphasized. Three lectures. Prerequisite: BIOL 242. Alternate years. Consult current year's course offerings. (2 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Molecular, cytogenetic, classical, and population concepts of plant, animal, and human genetics. Three lectures, three hours laboratory. Prerequisites: BIOL 241, 242, and 252. S 2010.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies of the methods and principles involved in the cloning and analysis of DNA and the applications and ethical implications of these techniques in biotechnology. Three lectures, three hours of laboratory. Prerequisites: College biology and chemistry laboratory experience. Can be taken as the first half of BIOL 374 Bioinformatics. Alternate years. F 2009. (2 credits)
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of cell structure and function and the mechanisms of biological development. Topics include cellular membranes, signal transduction, the cell surface and extracellular matrix, organelles, the cytoskeleton, the cell cycle and cancer, and cellular differentiation. Understanding of these concepts will provide the basis of study of the development of form and function during embryogenesis. Consideration of the mechanisms of development will include the basic morphological and biochemical changes which occur, as well as the molecular and cellular interactions leading to these changes. Three lectures, three hours of laboratory. Prerequisites: BIOL 241, 242. Fall 2009.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the microbial world including selected pathogens; microbial structure and function; microbial physiology and genetics; biotechnology, virology; cellular and humoral immunology; transplantation and tumor immunology. Two lectures, four hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 201 or 241. S 2010.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the biology of marine organisms in the context of the geological and physical features of the ocean. Lectures, field trips, and learning snorkeling skills on campus are followed by a field trip to the Caribbean over spring break to apply these concepts to tropical marine environments. Additional lab fee assessed to cover travel and accommodation costs. Prerequisite: BIOL 242. Alternate years. 2010.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the systematics, functional morphology, ecology and research with non-vertebrate organisms. Students are introduced to the amazing diversity of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates. Field trips to local habitats in addition to the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium are included. The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to often overlooked organisms in the animal kingdom with the goal of cultivating a greater appreciation for this wonderful part of God's Creation. Three hours lecture and three hours lab. Alternate years.S 2011.
