1.00 Credits
Experimental methods in cell biology with emphasis on biochemical methods for exploring cell structure and function. Cell division and differentiation will also be addressed. Preparation for Course C: BIOL 381. Cr. 1. Hours Lab. 3. Session Indicators (fall)
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture involves a survey emphasizing tropical marine communities including coral reefs, mangrove estuaries, turtle grass, and hard and soft substrate intertidal communities. Community processes such as predation, competition, mutualism, zonation, and behavior are discussed as well as physical-chemical factors such as tides, currents, waves, and salinity. Course includes a required field trip to a marine biological station over spring break for the lab portion. Student required to pay for expenses associated with field trip. Prerequisite for field trip: swimming/snorkeling ability; use of scuba gear is optional. Preparation for Course P: one year of college biology; second semester may be taken concurrently. Cr. 3. Hours Class 2, Lab. 1. Session Indicators (spring)
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of microbial diversity that emphasizes the interrelationship between bacteria and their environments. Special emphasis is given to metabolic diversity, control of microbial growth and interactions of pathogenic microorganisms with their hosts. The laboratory is designed to complement the lecture and emphasizes pure culture techniques, isolation and identification of unknown organisms, measurement and control of microbial growth and studies of human commensal organisms. Preparation for Course P: BIOL 117 and 119 or equivalents; P or C: CHM 255. Cr. 4. Hours Class 3, Lab. 3. Session Indicators (fall)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the roles of physical and chemical factors, predation, and competition in determining the abundance of freshwater organisms and regulating the productivity of lake ecosystems. Laboratories emphasize field work and group or individual projects at the Crooked Lake Biological Station. Preparation for Course P: BIOL 117 and one year of general chemistry. Cr. 3. Hours Class 2, Lab. 3. Session Indicators (fall)
-
1.00 Credits
Students critique and discuss seminar presentations. Each student must select a topic and give an oral presentation on it. Open only to senior biology majors. Cr. 1. Session Indicators (fall, spring)
-
4.00 Credits
Field botany is the study of plants in a landscape context. Major course themes include plant identification; plant community analysis and classification, focusing on major plant community types in northeast Indiana; an introduction to basic concepts of geology, hydrology, and soil science as they relate to the distribution and maintenance of plant communities, and a module on habitat preservation and restoration. The course includes two required Saturday field trips. Preparation for Course P: BIOL 217 or consent of instructor. Cr. 4. Hours Class 3, Lab 3. Session Indicators (fall) Dual Level Course Undergraduate-Graduate
-
3.00 Credits
An investigation of the foundations of conservation biology and emergent topics within the field: conservation ethics, the Endangered Species Act, island biogeography, effective population size, minimum viable populations, edge effects, managing for threatened species, and refuge design. Preparation for Course P: BIOL 217 and 218. Cr. 3. Session Indicators (fall) Dual Level Course Undergraduate-Graduate
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the invertebrate animals, their morphology, physiology, ecology, and phylogeny. Preparation for Course P: Biol 109 or 117 and 119. Cr. 3. Hours Class 2, Lab. 3. Session Indicators (spring) Dual Level Course Undergraduate-Graduate
-
3.00 Credits
A molecular characterization of the human genome, cloning human disease genes, the molecular basis of human genetic disorders that are due to biochemical defects and chromosomal abnormalities, molecular approaches in diagnosis of human disorders, mapping of human genes, and gene therapy. Preparation for Course P: BIOL 218; one semester of organic chemistry or biochemistry or signature of instructor. Cr. 3. Session Indicators (fall) Dual Level Course Undergraduate-Graduate
-
3.00 Credits
Up-to-date recombinant DNA methods will be covered; how molecular biology methods have enhanced our understanding of basic biological functions and structures; the applicability of molecular biology in pharmaceuticals, vaccine production, agriculture, bioremediation, and synthesis of commercial products. Preparation for Course P: BIOL 218, and CHM 254 or CHM 533, or consent of instructor. Cr. 3. Session Indicators (fall) Dual Level Course Undergraduate-Graduate
