Modern manipulation of molecular genetic data in the field of bioinformatics. Top-ics include genomics, proteomics, and systematics. A discussion of data collection techniques is followed by demonstration of data manipulation and analysis. A se-mester-long project based on human genetic diseases allows for the development and implementation of pertinent techniques in the field via computer analysis of international genetic databases. Prerequisite: BIOL 213 (BIOL 323 recommended), or permission of the instructor. 3 lecture hours.

3.00 Credits
Application of genetic and biochemical concepts to the rigorous analysis of the structure and function of cells. Special attention is devoted to the interactions be-tween cells and between cells and the non-cellular environment, signaling and re-sponse mechanisms, and regulation of gene activity. Specific examples for illus-tration will be drawn from developmental contexts and disease states. The labora-tory will use cell culture as a means of providing model systems to afford students experience with techniques used to elucidate cellular integration and regulation mechanisms. Prerequisites: BIOL 213 (BIOL 353 recommended), CHEM 242, or permission of the instructor. 3 lecture and 3 laboratory hours.

3.00 Credits
Provides rigorous coverage of key areas of biochemistry, physiology, and genetics, which are prerequisite to the understanding of physiological control mechanisms fundamental to modern medical practice. Integration of information and its applica-tion to clinical situations is emphasized. The role of genetics in the etiology of vari-ous pathological states is also emphasized. Recent advances in molecular biology and reproductive technology and the associated moral, ethical, and legal dilemmas discussed as they relate to patient education and referral situations. Intended primar-ily for Physician Assistant Majors. 3 lecture hours.

3.00 Credits
The study of behavior is complex and broad, requiring knowledge of many disci-plines. In this course, students will learn about animal behavior from evolution-ary, physiological, ecological, environmental, and functional perspectives. Areas of concentration will include proximate vs. ultimate causes, behavioral rhythms, foraging, habitat selection, movement, orientation, migration, territoriality, ago-nistic behavior, communication, social behavior, predator and prey behavior, co-operation, altruism, kin selection, mating systems, sexual selection, eusociality, parental care, learning, human behavior, and anthropogenic effects on animal be-havior. Prerequisites: BIOL 113 and 210, or permission of the instructor. Cross-listed as NEUR 349. 3 lecture hours. Open to Juniors & Seniors Only.

3.00 Credits
A fascinating discipline that investigates the development of an organism from fertilization to death. Beginning with an overview of embryology where a single fertilized egg develops into specialized cells and includes gene expression, morphogenesis, and stem cell biology. Further development of the organism includes sex determination, and nervous system, organ, and limb development. The course concludes with developmental disorders, mechanisms of regeneration, diseases of aging and senescence. Prerequisites: BIOL 210, 213 or permission of the instructor. 3 lecture hours.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the major classes of biomolecules, enzymology, metabolism, and bio-energetics. Topics may include carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, pro-teins, nucleotides, and nucleic acids; mechanism of enzyme action and regulation of enzymatic pathways; intermediary metabolism; lipid and nitrogen metabolism; physiochemistry of hemoglobin, the vitamins, and selected hormones. Prerequi-sites: CHEM 242, or permission of instructor. 3 lecture hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis is placed on the comparative anatomy and physiology of vertebrate ani-mals. Comparison is made in terms of systematic structural and functional units, patterns of development, adaptation, and phylogenetic relationships among repre-sentative species of extant and extinct vertebrates. The evolutionary origin of the chordates and their invertebrate ancestors is traced. Prerequisites: BIOL 113 and 210, CHEM 242, or permission of the instructor. 3 lecture and 3 laboratory hours.
