-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Basic principles of animal nutrition, emphasizing characteristics and metabolism of nutrients, these nutrients in terms of feedstuffs, anatomy and physiology of g ASTRointestinal tracts, and nutritional lifecycles of various animals. Four lectures. Prerequisites: BIOL 201/202.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A look at the study of animal behavior to interpret genetic, environmental, and physiological influences on development, control, adaptation and evolution of behavior. 4 lectures and 1 hour reserved for acquiring techniques and implementation of a project. Prerequisites: BIOL 201/202; BIOL 225 and BIOL 376 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Descriptive and functional study of gamete formation, fertilization and progressive development and differentiation of plants and animals. Laboratory examination of prepared materials with additional exercises using live specimens to demonstrate developmental principles and experimental techniques Two lectures and two two-hour laboratory periods. Prerequisites: BIOL 201/202. (Alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Interactions of organisms and their environment with emphasis on populations, communities, and ecosystems. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 201 or ENVS 101. (Fall, alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Introduction to ecology of lakes, streams, and wetlands. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 201 or ENVS 101. (Fall, alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Biogeography looks at patterns of living things in space and time. By combining ecological, evolutionary, and geographic points of view, we will see how life has evolved around the globe to exploit physical differences such as soils and climate. Landscape ecology quantifies spatial structure, especially as affected by humans, in regions comprising one or more ecosystems. Relating the two approaches helps us to appreciate how populations have survived geographical constraints in the past and to predict how they might fare in the future. Geographic information systems will be demonstrated as an important contemporary tool in spatial ecology. Prerequisite: BIOL 201 or ENVS 101.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is intended to help the student develop an understanding of the cell as a basic biological unit. Emphasis is placed on ultrastructure, organization, and function of cellular organelles, and the regulation of selected cell activities. Laboratories reinforce theoretical concepts and provide hands-on experience with modern molecular cell biology methods. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Prerequisites: BIOL 202 and CHEM 105; CHEM 106 recommended.
-
0.00 Credits
No course description available.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Principles of classical, molecular, and population genetics including Mendelian and cytoplasmic inheritance; DNA recombination, linkage, and mapping; structure and replication of genetic material; the control of gene expression; mutation; Hardy-Weinberg theorem; and quantitative genetics. Application of concepts through investigative laboratories. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Required for all Biology majors. Prerequisites: BIOL 201, 202, CHEM106.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Designed to build on BIOL 252, this course focuses on integrative and specialized cellular activities. Integrative cell functions include: cell-to-cell signaling, programmed cell death, mechanical and structural properties, motility, and differentiation via specific interactions between cells. Specialized cellular activities include: molecular immunology, neuron structure and function, and the cellular bases of cancer. Three hours lecture plus two hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 252 (grade of C or better recommended).
