-
1.00 Credits
Investigates the structure and function of DNA through techniques of molecular biology. Topics include agarose gel electrophoresis, DNA hybridization and gene cloning. Prerequisite: BIOL:201 or instructor's permission. 1 SH. 3 laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of physiological processes in humans related to exercise and participation in sports. This course also examines the effects and repercussions of exposure of the human body to extreme environments, such as those experienced by scuba divers, climbers and high-altitude pilots. Prerequisites: BIOL:102. 3 SH.
-
1.00 Credits
Investigates the physiological basis of human responses to exercise and extreme environments with an emphasis on neural, muscular, respiratory and cardiovascular mechanisms. Uses some animal models. 1 SH. 3 laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the adaptive value of animal behavior with an emphasis on theory and hypothesis testing using examples drawn from primary literature. Major topics include sexual selection, mating systems, parental care, sociality, foraging theory, antipredator behavior, game theory, and communication framed within an evolutionary context. Prerequisite: BIOL:101 or instructor's permission. 3 SH.
-
1.00 Credits
Field and laboratory techniques in behavioral data collection, experimental design, and statistical analysis. Hypothesis development and testing emphasized. A portion of the grade is based on an independent research project. Laboratory may not be taken without BIOL:324. Prerequisite: BIOL:101 or instructor's permission. 1 SH. 3 laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to evolutionary themes and functional approaches to invertebrate animal biology. Course covers a broad survey of the invertebrate phyla. Within the coverage of each group, unique aspects of morphology, physiology, ecology, and behavior will be discussed in light of the selective forces that have favored their evolution. Prerequisite: BIOL:202 or instructor's permission. 3 SH.
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to invertebrate phyla and subgroups with emphasis on form and functional morphology, organ systems, life history, ecology, and behavior. Course includes dissections, examination of preserved material, demonstrations, and observations of living animals. In addition, students will organize an invertebrate collection based on local fauna. Prerequisite: BIOL:202 or permission of the instructor. Laboratory may not be taken without BIOL:326. 1 SH. 3 laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigates how the immune system defends vertebrate organisms against invasion by pathogenic microorganisms. Discusses recognition of antigens and interactions between components of the immune system from a molecular perspective. Prerequisite: BIOL:306 or BIOL:316 or instructor's permission. 3 SH.
-
1.00 Credits
Techniques used in immunological studies. Topics include antibody purification, immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis. Prerequisite: BIOL:306 or BIOL:316 or instructor's permission. 1 SH. 3 laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
The physiology of photosynthetic organisms. Includes photosynthesis, translocation, metabolism, mineral nutrition, photoperiodism, hormones, growth and development. Prerequisite: BIOL:202 or instructor's permission. 3 SH.
