  • 4.00 Credits

    Includes a survey of microorganisms with emphasis on bacteria; concepts of morphology, genetics and physiology will be discussed. Growth, isolation, identification and control are studied with respect to ecological and medical applications. Selected laboratory exercises demonstrate the above. 2 hours lecture, 4 hours lab Prerequisite: BIO 1140 or BIO 1040 and CHM 1510 or CHM 1050 or permission of division. Co-requisite: CHM 1520 or CHM 1060.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Emphasis will be placed upon the integration of studies in the sciences. Students will use their familiarity with the scientific literature to read and analyze primary research papers. Students will be given the opportunity to develop oral presentation skills. Prerequisite: Sophomore biology, chemistry or general science major or have permission of division.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Basic concepts of physiology; physiological regulation from the level of the cell to that of the integrated organism. An emphasis is placed upon vertebrates in general and mammals in particular. Laboratory exercises stress the use of physiological instruments. 3 hours lecture; 3 hours lab Prerequisite: BIO 1040 or 1140 and CHM 1520.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Principles and problems of heredity are discussed in terms of classical, molecular, microbiological and human genetics. Genetic control at the cellular and organismal level is discussed. Selected laboratory exercises demonstrate the principles of heredity and require data analysis and interpretation. Laboratory organisms include drosophila and protists. 3 hours lecture; 3 hours lab Prerequisites: BIO 1040 or 1140; CHM 1510 or CHM 1050; and one other biology laboratory course numbered 2000 or above, or permission of division.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A study of the biological manifestation of disease. Students will expand their knowledge of how alterations in anatomy and physiology disrupt the human body as a whole. Overall mechanisms of disease will be discussed and used in the explanation of specific disease processes within each body system. Emphasis will be placed upon the effect each disease has on homeostasis mechanisms both at the gross and cellular levels. Prerequisites: BIO 1040 and BIO 2020.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Provides the student with an understanding of vertebrate morphology and evolution. Students will study the morphology of the various groups of vertebrates. Morphological adaptation will be related to organism function in the context of evolution. Laboratory work includes dissection of the amphioxus, lamprey, necturus, shark and cat. 3 hours lecture; 3 hours lab Prerequisite: BIO 1040 or 1140.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A comprehensive survey of the plant kingdom is made; structure and life processes of representative forms are studied in detail. 3 hours lecture; 3 hours lab Prerequisite: BIO 1040 or1140.
  • 4.00 Credits

    The concept of immunity is discussed as it relates to infectious disease, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity and tumor immunology. Biological systems for self-recognition are considered from the specific, non-specific, cellular, and noncellular points of view. Antigens, antibodies and reactions are explored in terms of serological testing and immunochemistry. Theories of synthesis and activities of antigens, antibodies, and cytokines will be discussed. Laboratory exercises will be used to clarify and emphasize lecture topics. Prerequisites: BIO 1040 or BIO 1140; CHM 1060 or CHM 1520; and BIO 2020 or permission of division.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Emphasis will be placed upon the integration of studies in the sciences. Students will utilize information from research articles, class discussions, and scientific talks to prepare a group presentation on a topic of current scientific interest. A term paper will be required. Prerequisite: Must be junior biology, chemistry or general science major or have permission of division.
  • 4.00 Credits

    The study of protozoan, helminth and arthropod parasites with emphasis on those of importance to the human host; morphology, life histories, ecology and host/parasite relationships are discussed. Laboratory consists of morphological study of known specimens and recovery and identification of those parasites having medical or environmental significance. 3 hours lecture; 3 hours lab Prerequisites: BIO 1040 or 1140; and one other biology laboratory course numbered 2000 or above, or permission of division.
