3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 251, 282 and CHEM 222 or 224. This course covers the molecular details of genetic processes such as DNA replication, RNA and protein synthesis, gene regulation and genome organization. Outcome: Students will be able to demonstrate a detailed understanding of (1) basic molecular techniques, (2) the macromolecules involved in genetic processes, and (3) published experiments that underlie our knowledge of these processes.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 282 and MATH 132 or 162. BIOL 235 is recommended. Fundamental principles of population, ecological, and evolutionary genetics, including molecular evolution and analysis of the genetic structure of populations. Outcome: Students develop knowledge and awareness of population genetic theory and information. They learn how to apply basic tools of population genetic analysis.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor, BIOL 341 recommended. This course focuses on the various areas of Electron Microscopy, both Scanning and Transmission. Topics include sample preparation, microscope operation, image acquisition using photographic and digital techniques, history and development, and new and special techniques. Outcome: Student will become adept with the various techniques needed to produce research quality electron micrographs. Students will also learn how to correctly interpret their results, and properly present their data.
-
3.00 Credits
Genomics is the compilation, characterization, and evaluation of DNA sequence information and its integration with established methods and genetic knowledge. This course will introduce the students to the study of genome structure and function and its application to biomedicine, agriculture, and evolution. Outcome: Students will acquire an in-depth knowledge of the nature of gene and genome structure, function, and evolution as well as the methods used to obtain and evaluate this knowledge. Students will be able to create meaningful web-based database search strategies and interpret the significance of results.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will engage in the applications of computer-based tools and database searching to better understand DNA and protein structure, function, and evolution. Outcome: Students will be able to apply their understanding of genetic and evolutionary processes to the appropriate use of computer software and manipulation of large databases to accurately predict structural, informational, functional, and evolutionary characteristics of DNA and protein sequences
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 243, 251, 282; CHEM 224 or 222. Principles and mechanisms of drug action. Topics discussed include drug-receptor interaction, pharmacokinetics, drug distribution, metabolism, and neuro-transmission, blood-brain barrier, and toxicology. Outcome: Students will be able to describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action for a variety of the most commonly used drugs in current medical use.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 251, 282, 283 and CHEM 222 or 224. BIOL, BIOM & BIOI Majors. (Not nursing) This course is an intensive laboratory course in the basic principles and techniques of molecular biology, including bacterial cloning, polymerase chain reaction, restriction mapping, agarose gel electrophoresis, and DNA sequencing. Outcome: Students will be able to demonstrate basic molecular biology skills including manipulation of bacterial cultures and DNA, plasmid minipreps, gel electrophoresis, cloning, polymerase chain reaction, and other molecular techniques that may be specific to their chosen independent projects.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 282, 283 & FRSC-BS Major. This course prepares students to work in forensic DNA analysis. The lectures cover the basic aspects of DNA structure and function while the laboratory gives students experience with the techniques and instruments used in forensic DNA analysis. Outcome: Students will have a strong theoretical understanding of STR marker origin, population biology, and legal uses, and will be able to isolate and process DNA for STR scoring.
-
3.00 Credits
A basic environmental course that covers different types of natural resources and the principles of resource management as well as the problems and solutions regarding waste disposal, pollution and energy production. Outcome: Students will learn about the major environmental problems facing our species now and in the future. They will be able to distinguish between renewable and non-renewable resources as well as sustainable and non-sustainable methods of resource utilization.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Special areas of study outside the usual curriculum, that vary each time the course is offered. Outcome: Students will master a unique topic in biology.
