  • BIOL 214: Microbiology

    4.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    This course explores the major groups of microbes and their relationships with one another, other organisms, and their environment. While particular emphasis is placed upon the study of bacteria and viruses, archaea, protozoa, fungi, algae, and prions are also examined. Microbial genetics, environmental microbiology, infectious disease, and host defenses are some of the areas of microbiology considered in the course. This course is required of all Biology majors and may also be of interest to those in biochemistry and individuals intending to pursue a career in the health professions or basic science research. Students (other than Biology majors) who are interested in or require a microbiology course but who lack the prerequisites for BIOL 214 are encouraged to enroll in BIOL 107 Microbes and Disease. Lecture: 3 hours; Laboratory: 3 hours. Prerequisites: BIOL 120C, 127L, 128C and one year of Chemistry with lab.

  • BIOL 310: Reproductive Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    This course examines reproductive structure and function in the animal kingdom with an emphasis on vertebrates. Topics for study include the regulation and mechanisms of: sex determination and differentiation, primordial germ cell development, puberty, gonadal function, gametogenesis, fertilization, pregnancy and reproductive disorders. This course includes lectures, group work, and the reading and interpretation/ critique of scientific literature. Courses in Cell Biology and Physiology are highly recommended for the successful completion of Reproductive Biology. Restriction: Junior and senior Biology majors. Prerequisites: BIOL 120C, 127L, 128C, 311.

  • BIOL 311: Cell Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    The traditional separation among the sub-disciplines in biology is vanishing. Fundamental experimental approaches have unified the pursuit of understanding how life works. The central position of the cell in the hierarchy of biology makes it of fundamental importance in understanding everything else. This course lays out the questions, approaches, experimental systems, historical observations, and current understanding of cellular mechanisms. Prerequisites: BIOL 120C, 127L, 128C; CHEM 202.

  • BIOL 311L: Techniques in Cell Biology

    2.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    The union between problem-solving skills and technology drives our understanding of biological principles and processes. This laboratory course introduces a range of modern cell biological techniques, including epigenetic inhibition of protein function in the model organism C. elegans, molecular cloning, light microscopy, immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence microscopy, protein expression and protein interaction analysis. The scientific method of problem solving, the various aforementioned techniques and, Internet biological databases/tools provide a framework for an independent project. One four-hour session per week. Corequisite: BIOL 311.

  • BIOL 317: Animal Behavior

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    Animal behavior is the study of what animals do. This class approaches this topic in two fashions: how animals do these behaviors (the proximate or mechanistic perspective) and why animals do things (the ultimate, or evolutionary, perspective). The class discusses animals from all taxa. Topics include: nature vs. nurture, learning, the role of hormones in behavior, how sensory systems influence behavior, predator/prey interactions, mating systems and altruism. Students also read articles from the primary literature and conduct a few simple experiments on animals. A significant component of the course involves designing experiments in class to test specific behaviors. Prerequisites: Biology 120C, 128C.

  • BIOL 318: Genetics

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    This course examines the most significant findings in classical and modern genetics. Emphasis is given to the methods of logical analysis required for problem solving. Topics include Mendelian principles, DNA structure and function, genetic variation and mutation, molecular techniques, and the use of Internet databases and tools for the analysis of genetic information. Prerequisites: BIOL 120C, 127L. Co- or prerequisite: CHEM 202.
