-
4.00 Credits
Use of taxonomic keys in the identification of local flowering plants; principles of nomenclature; methods of mounting herbarium specimens; flower types, structure and arrangement of floral parts; the major classes and families of flowering plants. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the principles of parasitism and other aspects of parasite biology using human parasites as models. Parasites causing human disease will be studied with emphasis on the occurrence, transmission, reservoirs and methods of control. Animal parasites, especially those of domestic animals, will also be included when appropriate. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 2306 and 2306. Offered during the spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to subdisciplines of microbiology, primarily medical microbiology, this course will focus on epidemiology of the causative agents of human infectious diseases and an overview of immunology. Laboratory will include experiences with aseptic techniques, isolation and identification of microorganisms, serological testing and methods of control of microorganisms. Three lecture hours and two, 2-hour laboratories per week. Prerequisites: BIO 2305 and 2306 or BIO 2403 and 2404.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Biology 3413, this course focuses on microbial genetics, microbial diversity/ecology and environmental and industrial microbiology. Laboratory will be primarily project-oriented experiences. Three lectures and one, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 3413. Offered during the spring semester of even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides the opportunity for students to learn about.and appreciate the animals that make-up about 95% of animal species on Earth. We will study their historical presence, extant distributions, identification, anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Three lectures and one 3 hr laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 2305 and 2306. Offered during the fall semester of even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide the opportunity for students to survey the classes and major orders of an extremely "successful" group of animals. Wewill study the evolutionary history, morphological /physiological /behavioral adaptations, habitats, and conservation of these organisms, as well as techniques that are commonly employed to capture live vertebrates. In addition, students will gain experience using a dichotomous key to identify classify those species that they are most likely to encounter in western Kentucky. Three lectures and one 3 hr laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 2305 and 2306. Offered during the spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will cover the mechanisms involved during the development of multicellular organisms including insects, plants, and vertebrates. Developmental processes will be studied from the prospective of cell biology, molecular biology, and anatomy. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 2305, 2306, and 3405. Offered during the fall semester of even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers cell structure, function and regulation along with the structure and function of biological macromolecules. The lab component will emphasize techniques in molecular biology. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: Bio 2306 and BIO 3405.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An opportunity for the biology major to carry out a research project (library, laboratory and/or field) under the supervision of a Biology Department faculty member. Prerequisite: Biology major and permission.
-
1.00 Credits
A further study of the topics presented in BIO 2114, but with additional emphasis on experimental design, statistical interpretation, design and production of graphs and other figures and oral presentations in biology. Students will prepare and present a report (library or laboratory) as a requirement for this course. One hour lecture per week. Prerequisite: BIO 2114, 2305, 2306.
