3.00 Credits
Introduces the principles of genetics with applications to human beings. The different systems by which characteristics are inherited, representative human hereditary problems, roles of heredity and environment; an historical approach to genetics research, chromosonial disturbances and some diseases; modern components of genetics in relation to human fertilization, surrogacy and genetic engineering This course does not satisfy the Biology major elective requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
Biological aspects of the aging process, including: definitions, characteristics and biological theories of aging, recent biological research, effects of disease and prescription drugs; determination of each student's aging profile, factors which modify the rate of the aging process including nutrition and exercise. This course does not satisfy the Biology major elective requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
To promote understanding of humankind's interdependence with the environment and to instill responsibility for environmental quality, the biological sciences are emphasized, including pollution control, ecological balance in nature, growth and control of human populations and identifying environmental issues. This course does not satisfy the Biology major elective requirement.

Lecture and laboratory study of interrelationships between various environmental factors (physical, chemical and biological) and the distribution and physiology of selected marine organisms. Special attention to ecological techniques and taxonomic methods. Field trips supplement laboratory work. This course does satisfy the Biology major elective requirement Prerequisites: BIO 14, CHM 11 or Department permission
-
4.00 Credits
Concepts and principles relating to structure and function of populations, communities and ecosystems; energy flow, biogeochemical cycling, community structure, population growth and population interactions, disturbed and undisturbed ecosystems. Designed for science majors, course includes lectures, films, field trips, discussion, research project and report. This course does satisfy the Biology major elective requirement Prerequisites: BIO 14
-
4.00 Credits
The basic concepts of green plant biology, their structure, growth and physiology. Laboratory experiences emphasize the growth and study of live specimens. Greenhouse field projects and other special course related projects are included.This course does satisfy the Biology major elective requirement Prerequisite: BIO 14 Pre or Corequisite: CHM 11
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory survey course. Lectures and laboratories for students who intend to continue in the biological sciences or choose it as their sophomore-level science elective. Invertebrate phyla are studied with particular reference to their physiology and interrelationships. Representative forms will be examined and dissected and experiments performed on particular organisms. Fundamental biological concepts will be stressed. This course does satisfy the Biology major elective requirement Prerequisite: BIO 01400 Pre or Corequisite: CHM 01100
-
4.00 Credits
Biological principles underlying animal and plant tissue culture and cloning techniques are taught using current cell culture research publications. The formation and maintenance of primary and continuous culture, monolayer and suspension cultures, cell separation techniques, and cell cloning studies are conducted. Cell morphology in vitro, callus formation, cytochemistry, immunocytochemistry, autoradiography, chromosome spread preparation and karyotyping western blotting and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbance assays are performed and analyzed. Photomicroscopy and independent research projects on the initiation and maintenance of primary cell cultures from such sources as chick embryos are also performed. Prerequisites: BIO 01400, CHM 01100 or Department Permission
