-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture three hours, laboratory four hours per week. An introduction to algae, fungi, and true plants comparing life cycles (alternation of generations) and functional anatomy/morphology. Half of the course emphasizes the four developmental stages in the life of seed plants: germination, establishment, maturation, and reproduction.
-
3.00 Credits
A modern synthesis of plant biology and the principles of cultural anthropology to compare the use of domesticated and wild plants. A comparison of tropical and temperate zone 'cases' requires four field trips to the Missouri Botanical Garden. Satisfies the Arts and Sciences Cultural Diversity requirement.
-
0.00 - 5.00 Credits
Lecture two hours, two three-hour laboratories per week. Evolution of chordate morphology. Laboratory consists of the study of the structures of each major group of chordates with emphses on the dogfish shark and cat.
-
0.00 - 5.00 Credits
Lecture three hours, and two two-hour laboratories per week. Development of the vertebrate embryo from a single cell into a mutlicellular organism. Topics include: fertilization, changes in shape and form, increase in complexity and diversity, organ formation, processes by which cells with the same genetic endowment become different from one another.
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory three hours per week. This stand-alone laboratory course is designated to supplement and reinforce material presented in the BIOL-454, but also covers topics beyond the scope of that syllabus, largely through computer-based interactive physiology programs, and the acquisition and analysis of cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and respiratory systems data using the PowerLab human physiology teaching system. Problems involving inquiry-based learning are also assigned. Prerequisites or Co-requisite: BIOL-454
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of plant physiology: growth, phytohormones, flowering, photosynthesis, water relations, mineral nutrition, translocation in higher plants.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
The course provides an opportunity for first and second year students to carry out independent study and research. Permission of the Instructor required. Course goals, content and meeting times to be determined by the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The function and evolution of the reproductive organs of seed plants based on their morphology, biochemistry, breeding system, genetics, and ecological relationships between flowers and such pollinators as insects, vertebrates, and air currents. Includes two field trips to the Missouri Botanical Garden.
-
2.00 Credits
Lecture 1 hour, laboratory 3 hours per week. This course will provide students with experience in the theory and practice of molecular biology techniques. Topics to be covered include DNA isolation, cloning, PRC, DNA sequencing, and bioinformatics. Prerequisities: BIOL302 and BIOL303.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours per week. Prominent morphological, behavioral, physiological and ecological features of fishes, amphibia, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Week-end field trips are required.
