-
3.00 Credits
A study of fungi, mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants, including identification, morphology, and ecology. Field study involved. May be taken twice for credit if the field sites are different. Summer.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the growth, development and technology involved in the produc- tion, maintenance, use, and marketing of horticultural plants and products. Two hours lecture, two hours lab. Spring, alternate years.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lectures, discussions, or special laboratory topics not covered in regular course offerings. Provides greater depth to topics of special interest or explores rapidly changing areas in biology. May be repeated. Prerequisites announced when specific topics scheduled.
-
3.00 Credits
Concerned with the wide range of microorganisms that exist and their roles in the environment. Concentrates on the following areas: ( 1) microbial environments; ( 2) detection of microbial activity; ( 3) impact of microbial activity on the environment in terms of nutrient cycling and pollutant fate; ( 4) detection and control of pathogens in the environment; ( 5) bioremediation (includes risk assessment and environmental biotechnology). Three hours lecture, field studies at sites that utilize microbes (e.g., sewage treatment plants, fermentor facilities). Prerequisite: Biology 100 or 107 with a grade of C- or better or permission of instructor. Spring, alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of major events in the history of life from the origin of life some four billion years ago to the extinction and speciation episodes that have resulted in the variety of organisms that occupy the planet in more recent geologic time. Prerequisite: Biology 100 or 107 with a grade of C- or better or permission of instructor. Fall, alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces principles and concepts of evolution and ecology, with emphasis on the intricate and intrinsic relationship between these disciplines. Examines mechanisms of evolutionary change and interactions of organisms, populations, and communities of organisms within their environment. Addresses how these interactions occur, what effects they have on the functioning of natural communities, and how they influence the evolution of populations and species. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Prerequisites: Biology 107 with a grade of Cor better or permission of instructor. Recommended: Biology 108, 109 with a grade of C- or better. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies a variety of section and non-section techniques for preparation of cells and tissues (primarily animal) for microscopic examination and examines anatomical features of such preparations. Two hours lecture, two hours lab. Prerequisites: Biology 107, 108 with a grade of C- or better or permission of instructor. Summer.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces fungi with emphasis on ecology, morphology, and taxonomy of representative groups. Two hours lecture, four hours lab. Prerequisites: Biology 107 with a grade of C- or better or permission of instructor. Fall, alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of inheritance in animals, plants, and microorganisms with emphasis on molecular levels of expression. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Prerequisite: Biology 107 with a grade of C or better or permission of instructor. Recommended: Biology 108 with a grade of C- or better. Fall, spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies the principles of biological rhythms, migration, aggression, competition, learning, reproduction, and social behavior of animals. Three hours lecture, field studies. Prerequisite: Biology 108 with a grade of C- or better or permission of instructor. Fall.
