-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An investigation into the fundamental principles of Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance and the molecular and cellular basis of heredity, including the molecular and biochemical processes behind inheritance, gene expression and development. Additional topics include pedigree analysis, mutation and cancer, the conflict between nature and nurture, modern DNA technology, population genetics, evolution, and the ethical impact of genetics on society and will involve the review of current articles in the field. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in the spring semester. Prerequisites: BIO203/203L; CHM203/203L or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of a specialized subject area which may vary based on student/faculty interest. For non-major students only. The topic, course structure and instructor will be announced prior to pre-registration. There are no prerequisites.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This is an integrative biological study of structural and functional anatomy of the vertebrate classes. It utilizes an organ system approach to the study of comparative anatomy, considers unique adaptations of individual vertebrate groups and incorporates evolutionary relationships in conjunction with aspects of vertebrate behavior, ecology and paleontology. Lecture and reading assignments incorporate research data from current literature. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate fall semesters. Corequisite: BIO 302L. Prerequisites: BIO 203/203L, 204/204L or equivalent.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A study of the biology and chemistry of microorganisms including their morphology, metabolism, genetics, growth and control, as well as their interactions with host cells. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate fall semesters. Corequisite: BIO 305L. Prerequisites: BIO 203/203L; CHM 203/203L.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of BIO 305 focusing solely upon eukaryotic microorganisms. The course will be divided into three sections focusing upon the morphology, metabolism, evolution, and ecology of the three categories of eukaryotic microorganisms: Protists, fungi, and helminthes. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate spring semesters. Prerequisites: BIO 203/203L and BIO 305/305L.
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of important fungi with emphasis on their biology, physiology and significance. Current research on the control of fungi and treatment of fungal diseases is examined. 4 lecture/laboratory hours per week. Offered in alternate fall semesters. Prerequisite: BIO 203/203L
-
3.00 Credits
A comprehensive modern approach to the field of virology that focuses on the biology, application, and control of viruses. Topics include, but are not limited to, virus morphology and replication, evolution and extinction, emerging pathogens, gene and bacteriophage therapy, antiviral drugs, and virus-immune system interactions. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate spring semesters. Prerequisite: BIO 203/203L.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Study of the morphology, distribution, symptoms, treatment, prevention and control of important parasites. 2 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate fall semesters. Corequisite: BIO 312L. Prerequisite: BIO 203/203L
-
3.00 Credits
The mechanisms, cells, and molecules involved in immunological responses will be examined in this course. Emphasis is on comparison of antibody and cytokine responses. Resistance to infectious organisms, allergic responses, tissue transplantation, and autoimmune diseases will also be discussed. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate spring semesters. Prerequisite: BIO 203/203L.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of basic ecological concepts including biotic parameters, ecosystem principles, biogeochemical cycles and energy flow as well as biological factors such as interspecific and intraspecific interactions among individuals, populations, communities and the ecosystem, with implications for evolution. Offered in the fall semester. Prerequisites: BIO203/203L, 204/204L or equivalent.
