Three hours lecture, three hours of laboratory per week. This course is offered for elementary education majors. A variety of teaching methods will be used so that students with different learning styles may master the material. Curiosity and creativity are encouraged.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the principles of evolutionary biology through a discussion/lecture format. Topics covered include the theory of evolution, origin of new species, genetics of populations, relative roles of selection, drift, mutation, and migration in the evolutionary process, evolutionary rates, and pre-biotic evolution.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This is a sophomore-level course on cellular/molecular biochemistry including the synthetic flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein (replication, transcription and translation), RNA and protein structure and function, enzymology, and energy flow (metabolism). It is designed as a foundation course for subsequent upper division cellular/molecular biology courses, including Molecular Cell Biology II (BIOL 304) and Genetics (BIOL 303). Fall semester. Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 and BIOL 106; Co-requisites: CHEM-342 & CHEM-344
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course covers the basic principles of genetics, including transmission genetics, molecular genetics, gene regulation, recombinant DNA technology and genomics. Throughout the course, there is an emphasis on the application of genetics to experimental and problem-solving situations. Prerequisites: BIOL 302 OR CHEM 464.
-
3.00 Credits
Building on the principles introduced in BIOL-302, this course explores how specific proteins, lipids, sugars and nucleic acids contribute to cellular processes and structure. The material covered here provides a good foundation for upper-level courses in Development, Physiology, Microbiology and Immunology. Pre-requisite: BIOL-302 or CHEM-462; Co-requisite: CHEM-343/345.
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory four hours per week. Basic concepts in cell biology stressed in a laboratory setting. Protein and lipid components of biological membranes, DNA comparison of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, principles of protein synthesis, establishment of primary cell cultures, analysis of the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Techniques stressed will include microscopy (light/fluorescent), SDS-PAGE and protein determination, thin layer chromatography, receptor analysis and the application of sterile culture to the study of cells. Spring semester.
