4.00 Credits
This course is designed to familiarize students who have little formal training in science with major concepts in general science, with specificity in physical and historical geology and evolutionary biology. In essence, this course utilizes lectures and laboratory activities, including field trips, to examine the physical make-up of the Earth by considering its composition, structure, and the physical processes that shape it, as well as survey the history of physical changes of the Earth and the evolution of its inhabitants. Special emphasis is placed on the geologic record of the New York region. Course does not carry biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides students with advanced placement the opportunity to explore in depth a variety of issues in the modern discipline of biology. The types of issues to be addressed may include biodiversity, ecosystem structure and function, development, physiological adaptations, and evolution. Students will be expected to work independently and cooperatively on certain topics, as well as make presentations to the class. Three hours lecture per week and enrollment in BIO 191L is required.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a study of nutrition as it relates to normal growth, development, health, body systems and processes. Additionally, therapeutic diets for specific disease conditions will be discussed and evaluated. Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisites or corequisites: BIO 201, 202. Does not carry biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a survey of microbial life with special emphasis on those organisms of clinical interest. Laboratory exercises emphasize the isolation, identification and control of microorganisms. Three hours of lecture and two hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite or corequisite: BIO 201, 202. Does not carry biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce the student to cell biology and the concepts of genetics at the molecular level. Basic concepts of cell structure and function are presented from a biochemical perspective. Topics include metabolism, membranes, cytoskeleton, motility, and replication and expression of genetic information. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193. CHM 223-224 recommended. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
-
3.00 Credits
The pollution of our air, land, and water is an ecological problem of epidemic proportions. However, before we can come to grips with this menace, we must understand what we are facing. Our present situation results from economic conflicts, social attitudes, political indecision and the overuse and misuse of scientific and technological ideas. In this course, we will examine environmental issues such as resource depletion, pollution, overpopulation, and the nuclear winter. We will begin with the biological and ecological basis of these problems and then, in a multidisciplinary fashion, address the possible solutions and consequences of these issues. Three hours lecture per week. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course uses an evolutionary approach to the study of the interrelationships of organisms with their environments. Topics include competition, co-evolution, population growth and regulation, demography, and predator-prey relationships. Laboratory work includes field study and basic methods for evaluation of data. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
The nature of the evolutionary process is studied from a number of relevant points of view, including geology, paleontology, comparative anatomy, genetics, molecular biology and anthropology. The significant influence of evolutionary concepts on human thought is discussed. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193, BIO 218. Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
A course that stresses the basic concepts of Mendelian genetics, the interactions between genetic and environmental factors during development, and the foundations of population genetics and quantitative inheritance. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193, BIO 218. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory weekly. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
The mechanisms of animal and human behavior are investigated in a broad descriptive sample. Special emphasis is placed on the physiology, development and evolution of behavior patterns. Prerequisite: Eight credit hours of biology. Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
