-
4.00 Credits
An interdisciplinary study of the negative effects of chemical and physical agents on living systems. The course focuses on mammalian systems and includes an investigation of the mechanisms of action and biological consequences of toxic agents at the molecular, cellular, organismic and ecosystem levels. Industrial toxicology, environmental toxicology and food toxicity and assessment are considered. (P: BIO 145; CHEM 160) (WIC)
-
4.00 Credits
A comparison of the morphology of vertebrates utilizing an evolutionary approach to organ systems. Emphasis is placed upon the development and structure of each organ system found in the vertebrate organism. The laboratory consists of dissection of species from at least two classes of vertebrates which illustrate the principles learned in lecture. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Offered fall of even-numbered years. (P: BIO 145 and 162 or permission of instructor)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the complex interactions between parasitic organisms and their hosts. Internal and external parasites and their vectors are considered. The overall ability of the host to respond, as well as specific reactions to important parasites are discussed. The effects of parasites and their associated diseases and of preventative and curative measures involved in their control are included. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Offered fall of even-numbered years. (P: BIO 145)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the activity of the organ systems of the human. Function will be examined at the molecular as well as at the integrated systems level. The relationship of structure to function will be emphasized. The laboratory consists of experiments designed to demonstrate and/ or to amplify principles presented in lecture. Three one-hour lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Offered spring of even-numbered years. (P: BIO 145 or permission of the instructor) (WIC)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the processes in plants and subsequent growth and development. Processes studied include photosynthesis, respiration, ion absorption, translocation, stomatal function, transpiration, hormonal activity, flowering and seed formation. As a study of producers, this course will examine those organisms so important because of their position in the energy pyramid and the food web. Three hours of lecture per week and one three-hour laboratory. Recommended: CHEM 200 or permission of instructor. Recommended for second semester sophomore and above. Offered spring term of odd-numbered years. (P: BIO 145; CHEM 140, 160)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the nature of hereditary materials, replication and genetic control of metabolism, development, behavior, evolution and all biological functions. A consideration of the implications of genetic techniques and genetic theory for humans. Three lectures and three hours of laboratory. Offered each fall term. (P: BIO 145 or permission of instructor; CHEM 200 recommended) (WIC)
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Applications of biological and statistical methods of biology to real world situations. Major consideration will be given to methods that assess the health of aquatic, wetland and terrestrial ecosystems. The laboratory will emphasize applications of statistical methods to experimental design, collection techniques and data analysis; lectures will emphasize the synthesis of information collected. Both a formal paper and presentation will be required at the course’s conclusion. Two hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per week. Offered each spring term. ( P: junior biology major or permission of the instructor) ( WIC)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the development of biological organisms. Topics to be considered are gametogenesis, fertilization, cell division, morphogenetic movements, differentiation and organogenesis. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of the underlying mechanisms of the developmental processes common to microorganisms, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. Related phenomena such as metamorphosis, regeneration and aging will also be considered. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Offered spring term of odd-numbered years. (P: BIO 145) (WIC)
-
4.00 Credits
A comparative study of the functional features of whole organisms and their component organs and organ systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding basic physiological processes found in vertebrates and invertebrates. Physiological function as it is related to survival of organisms in their natural environments is stressed. Three lectures and one threehour laboratory-discussion. Offered spring of odd-numbered years. (P: BIO 145) (WIC)
-
4.00 Credits
Current concepts of plant and animal population and community ecology including statistical analysis of field-collected data. Major consideration is given to population growth and regulation, organism interactions, productivity, material cycles and community relations. The laboratory will include participation in a long-term project observing plant and animal interactions. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Recommended for the junior-level student. Offered each fall. (P: BIO 145; one of BIO 212, 222, 262 or 263 and junior level status) (WIC)
