4.00 Credits
The theory and application of recombinant DNA techniques includes study of genomics and proteomics, molecular aspects of recombinant DAN technology and genetic engineering, microbial, animal and plant protein expression. Ethical, legal and social concerns surrounding the field of biotechnology are addressed. Basic biotechnological laboratory techniques required for the study of genomics, genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology are conducted. Prerequisites: BIO 01400, CHM 01100 or Department Permission

4.00 Credits
For Biology majors, this course examines transmission of the genetic material, molecular genetics and the genetics of population. Topics considered in both lecture and laboratory include: quantitative analyses of eukaryotic linkage; extranuclear inheritance; mutation studies; cytogenetical chromosomes studies; gene amplification; DNA extraction; DNA "fingerprinting"; protein gel electrophoresis; and transformation of prokaryotic genetic material by viral vectors. Techniques developed and utilized in the Human Genome Project and genetic engineering are emphasized. Research papers and in-class presentations are required. This course does satisfy the Biology major elective requirement Prerequisites: BIO 14 , CHM 11
-
2.00 Credits
Corequisite: BIO 06200 Introduction to the nature of scientific investigation and acquiring skills needed to develop a research problem. Emphasis placed on reading primary sources of scientific literature, experiment design, data presentation and analysis, and preparation of a literature review. Prerequisite: Department Permission and passing scores on CUNY Math Assessment Test & ACT In Reading & Writing
-
2.00 Credits
Theory and practical operation of basic laboratory instruments and techniques, including analytical balances, pH meters, UV/VIS spectrophotometers, atomic absorption spectroscopy, chromatography, gel electrophoresis, computer-based instrumentation and other techniques. Prerequisite: Department Permission and passing scores on CUNY Math Assessment Test & ACT in Reading & Writing Corequisite: BIO 06100
-
3.00 Credits
Increased food processing, chemical additions to food, and the great variety of available foods makes it important to understand the basic ideas of modern nutrition. Such concepts as biochemical individuality as related to nutrition for optimum health are integrated with surveys of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Also studied are the role of vitamins and minerals in metabolic processes, food selection, special diets during illness, safety of the food supply. Students analyze their own diet. This course does NOT satisfy the Biology major elective requirement
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Independent study of Biology is developed individually between student and faculty member and must be approved by the Department.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course is of a topical and pilot nature and is designed to meet the immediate needs and interests of various student populations. It is offered for a maximum of two semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
The concepts and methodologies of sociology, psychology, economics, political science and history helps students understand issues of current significance.
-
5.00 Credits
Principles of chemistry with applications to biological systems and processes. Metric system, physical and chemical properties of matter, chemical nomenclature, symbolism, atomic and molecular structure, nuclear processes, basics of chemical bonding and reactions, stoichiometry, properties of the states of matter, solids, liquids and gasses, chemistry of solutions, colloids, acids and bases and the basic structure and nomenclature of organic molecules will be introduced so students can proceed to organic chemistry in health-related fields. Prerequisites: Department permission and passing scores on CUNY Math Assessment Exam & ACT in Reading & Writing. May be taken by any student.
-
4.00 Credits
Two-semester classroom and laboratory course. First term introduces: chemical equations, stoichiometry, chemical nomenclature, atomic structure, periodic properties, bonding, (especially of carbon compounds), the gaseous, liquid and solid states, phase changes, electrolytes, and the properties of selected elements in relation to environmental problems. Prerequisites: MAT 9 or it's equivalent, and either successful completion of CHM 01 with a grade of "C" or better or a passing score on the CHM 01 exemption exam. ( Contact the Physical Sciences Department for information regarding the exemption exams.)
