3.00 Credits
Prereq: C- OR BETTER BIOS 325. Topics will emphasize the interaction of microbial genetics with molecular biology and biotechnology. Genetics of selected bacteria, their bacteriophages, and yeast are covered. Topics include the genetic elements of bacteria, bacteriophage and yeast; mutations and mutagenesis, mitochondrial genetics and prions, mechanisms of gene transfer and recombination, regulation of gene expression and recombinant DNA. 3 lec. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: C- OR BETTER BIOS 325 & (JR OR SR). Class is intended for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. An in-depth discussion of the molecular events that regulate eucaryotic gene expression. Topics also include gene regulation during differentiation and development, aberrant transcription and disease, generation and utility of transgenic animals, and genomics-based analysis of gene expression. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 325 OR MICR 325. Basic principles of Mendelian, molecular, and population genetics as applied to gene expression in the development, metabolism, and diseases of humans. The role of genetics in medicine and counseling will be explored. 4 lec.
-
5.00 Credits
Prereq: (BIOS 172 & 173) OR PBIO 211. Biological processes in marine and estuarine habitats, and adaptations for life at sea; emphasis on environmental variables affecting distribution, abundance, and dynamics of marine plants and animals. Includes optional 4-day field trip to marine environment. 5 lec, field trip.
-
6.00 Credits
Prereq: BIOS 330. The major taxa of marine and freshwater invertebrates: structure, function, development, evolutionary relationships, and ecological adaptations. 4 lec, 4 lab.
-
5.00 Credits
Prereq: (BIOS 172 & 173) OR PBIO 211. Physical, chemical, and biological processes in lakes and running waters. Emphasis on the collection and analysis of environmental and ecological data describing populations and communities. Lab includes field sampling of local habitats. 4 lec, 3 lab. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: C- OR BETTER BIOS 330. An introduction to the use of biological assemblages to detect and diagnose the impact of human activity on natural ecosystems. Key topics include biotic integrity, reference condition, sampling methods, characteristics of good indicator species/metrics, stressor diagnosis, and working with inherent geographical and temporal variability in biological systems. Students will gain an appreciation of how biological understanding is incorporated into legislative and policy actions. Emphasis on aquatic systems but some terrestrial applications will be presented. Laboratory and final project involve handson bioassessments in local streams. 2 lec, 4 lab. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
6.00 Credits
Overview of insect biology. Lecture: insect morphology, physiology, behavior, systematics, evolution, and ecology. Discussion of current issues relating to conservation and pest management in agriculture. Lab: emphasis on field trips, insect collection and identification. 4 lec, 4 lab. Prerequisites: BIOS 330 OR PBIO 211 Credit Hours: 6 Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken an unlimited number of times, but only last course taken counts. Note: Effective Summer Quarter 2010-11 (June 2011) any non-repeatable course may be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: (C- OR BETTER BIOS 330 OR CONCURENT) OR PBIO 211 & NOT BIOS 435. A field and laboratory course to introduce students to insect taxonomy and field sampling methods. Emphasis on equipment and protocols for collecting/monitoring insects in their natural habitats, and laboratory procedures for identifying and preserving specimens. Students will become familiar with common insect families and the use of taxonomic keys to identify them. Grades based on field projects, laboratory practicals, and a final project (insect collection). May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: (BIOS 172 OR 173) & (NOT 441 OR MICR 441). Etiology of human parasites, their transmission, diagnosis, and prevention. 3 lec. May be retaken one time excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
