2.00 Credits
Evolution of the chordates with emphasis on comparative anatomical, physiological and developmental aspects of vertebrate organ systems. Two hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102. 4 credits. F
-
3.00 Credits
A consideration of the structure and function of the invertebrate animals. Included will be a treatment of the evolution, adaptive behavior and ecological significance of this group. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BlO 101, 102. 4 credits. N
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the anatomy of the human body. Topics will include the structure of genes and their relation to proteins and the architecture of single cells and tissues. The organization of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems will also be covered. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102. Formerly BIO 138. 4 credits. F
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the physiology of the human body. Topics will include the endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Emphasis will be given to exploring the human body in health and pathology through unifying concepts such as homeostasis and the reflex arc. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102, 238. Formerly BIO 139. 4 credits. S
-
4.00 Credits
An investigation of the history, processes and theories of biological evolution. Emphasis will be placed on evidence provided by paleontology, comparative morphology, molecular biology, developmental biology, ecology and biogeography. The overriding theme of the course will be to examine evolution as the unifying concept that integrates all of biology. The beginning of the course will focus on the important evolutionary mechanisms at the population level with particular emphasis on the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, natural selection and genetic drift. The course will then examine the process of speciation through analysis of species concepts and contemporary examples. The course will conclude with a discussion of the mechanisms of macroevolution and phylogenetic systematics. An accompanying laboratory will allow for a first hand opportunity to collect and analyze data used in the inference of evolutionary relationships. 2 hours lecture and 4 hours of laboratory per week. 4 credits. S
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of animal parasites; the ecology and evolution of parasitism; the behavior, morphology, physiology and life histories of parasites. Two lectures and four hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102. 4 credits. N
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to ecology and field biology. Major areas to be covered include the ecosystem and the community, aquatic and terrestrial habitats, population ecology, conservation and resource management. Much of the laboratory work will consist of field trips to selected, diverse habitats in the metropolitan area. Two lectures and four hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102 and MATH 115 or equivalent. 4 credits. F
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of microorganisms and immunology. Special consideration to immunity, serology, disease-producing microorganisms, antibiotics and chemotherapy, transduction and transformation. Specific topics include definition and relationships of antigens and antibodies, hostantigen interactions, bursal and thymal influences on lymphoid cells, and humoral and cellular response mechanisms. Two lectures and four hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102. Corequisites: CHM 109, 110. 4 credits. S
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed description of the world's oceans. Topics to be included are physical, chemical and biological phenomena in the oceans. Special emphasis will be placed on the neritic environment. Three hours of lecture a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101,102. 3 credits. S
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to biological development, from the formation of the egg, through embryonic development, to sex determination and reproduction. Special topics such as plant development, aging and the evolution of developmental mechanisms will be included. Classical experiments in embryology will complement modern research on molecular developmental mechanisms, and the use of model organisms (mice, frogs, chickens, fish, flies, worms, plants) will be stressed. Two hours of lecture and four hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: BIO 211, BIO 399. 4 credits. S
