Prerequisite:
BIOL 115 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 162 (Grade of C or Higher)
-
4.00 Credits
Deals with the structural characteristics, physiology, and genetics of bacteria as well as principles of immunology and host-parasite relationships. Viruses and fungi are also considered. Laboratory exercises provide experience in the aseptic technique, staining, and evaluating the responses of microorganisms to various environmental changes. Three hours lecture and two hours lab/week.
Prerequisite:
(BIOL 115 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 162 (Grade of C or Higher)) and (BIOL 116 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 161 (Grade of C or Higher))
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the amazing properties of plant life, emphasizing their role in the environment as well as practical implications for humans. Students will examine plant diversity and learn basic plant morphology, physiology, development, and reproduction as well as plant ecology and evolution. Labs and discussion of primary literature will emphasize topics covered during lectures.
Prerequisite:
(BIOL 115 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 162 (Grade of C or Higher)) and (BIOL 116 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 161 (Grade of C or Higher))
-
4.00 Credits
A systematic study of the structure and function of the various systems of the human body. Topics included are: the cell, integument, skeletal, musculature, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Dissections of specimens are required in the laboratory portion of this course. Note: Human Anatomy and Physiology I & II are integral parts of a one-year (two-semester) comprehensive course sequence. Three hours lecture and two hours lab/week. Credit earned in this course is not applicable to the credits required of the biology major.
-
4.00 Credits
A systematic study of the structure and function of the various systems of the human body. Continuation of Human Anatomy and Physiology I. Topics included are: the nervous system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, metabolism, urinary system, fluid and pH balance. Although laboratory exercises will be more experimental in nature than in Human A&P I, some dissection of specimens will be required in the laboratory portion of this course. Note: Human Anatomy and Physiology I & II are integral parts of a one-year (two-semester) comprehensive course sequence. Three hours lecture and two hours lab/week. Credit earned in this course is not applicable to the credits required of the biology major.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 237
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the interactions between organisms and their environment and the relationship between ecological processes and patterns of distribution and abundance of organisms. Laboratory/field sessions emphasize ecological principles and techniques. Two hours lecture and three hours lab/week.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 115 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 162 (Grade of C or Higher)
-
4.00 Credits
Introductory course dealing with the principles of heredity and the nature of the gene. The role of genetics in development, behavior, medicine, agriculture, biodiversity and evolution will be addressed as well as the implications and ethical considerations of modern biotechnology. Laboratory work includes genetic analysis in Drosophila and other organisms, recombinant DNA technology, and bioinformatics. Three hours lecture and two hours lab/week.
Prerequisite:
(BIOL 115 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 162 (Grade of C or Higher)) and (BIOL 116 (Grade of C or Higher) or BIOL 161 (Grade of C or Higher))
