-
3.00 Credits
This course investigates the causes, pathology, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, as well as the mammalian immune response to infection. The course is in a lecture/discussion format with focus on case studies and readings from primary literature, as well as the laboratory investigation of infective agents. Some field work, including a possible field trip to a water treatment plant, is an important feature of the class. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced study of the basic tools and techniques used to manipulate nucleic acids (primarily DNA). The course will include an overview of systems and organisms that are utilized for gentic engineering, basic recombinant DNA techniques used for research and industry, examples of genetically engineered organisms (microorganisms, plants, animals), and current issues that have evolved from genetic engineering. The laboratory session is an essential component of this class and is required. Offered Spring Semester 2006 and alternate years. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 230. J. Corrette-Bennett.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the mechanisms of organism development from gametogenesis through maturity. Both molecular and classical morphologic aspects of development are covered, with emphasis on the vertebrates. A laboratory is included. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111. K. Robertson.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of the topics in physiology. Detailed study of the physiology of growth and development in plants and the respiratory, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems of animals. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 220, 221 or 223.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the exercising mammal, with emphasis on the metabolic, cardiorespiratory, nutritional, and excretory systems. Laboratory sessions are designed to reinforce concepts presented in lecture. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 220, 221 or 223.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the immune response at the molecular, cellular, and organismic levels. Topics include antigen-antibody reactions, hypersensitivity, tolerance, tumor immunology, autoimmunity, and immunology against viral, microbial, and parasitic pathogens. A laboratory is included. Offered Fall Semester 2005 and alternate years. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111. P. McCarthy.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
A microscopic study of cells and tissues, relating their structure to their function. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of inland water systems, including lakes, rivers, estuaries, and wetlands. The biological, physical, and chemical features of these systems are described, and the interaction between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems is discussed. A laboratory emphasizing field work is included. Offered Fall Semester 2006 and alternate years. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 240 or 241. A. Throckmorton.
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of marine organisms and biological systems. The course deals with adaptations of these organisms from evolutionary, ecological, and physiological points of view. Energetics and chemistry of marine ecosystems are addressed. Theoretical investigations are made of traditional methods, such as habitat studies, and currently employed techniques, such as remote sensing. No formal laboratory is included. Offered Spring Semester 2007 and alternate years. A. Throckmorton.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced study of the organismic and ecological interactions among symbiotic relationships and their connections to disease in their hosts. The specific relationships studied are mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Parasitic infections, infestations, and diseases of humans (such as AIDS, Lyme disease, and schistosomiasis), non-human animals (of veterinary importance), and plants are detailed. Ecology of disease includes its epidemiology in developed and developing countries. The course approaches topics by way of a seminar-lecture-project format. No formal laboratory is included.
