-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic biological principles underlying the ways in which living organisms function. Topics such as the scientific method, cellular metabolism, cell division, heredity, and genetic engineering will be covered. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a detailed laboratory study of primate sectional anatomy with emphasis on human sectional anatomy. Transverse, sagittal, and frontal whole body sections of a representative primate are studied. Not available for Biology elective credit. Four hours laboratory. Pre-requisite of not having taken( BIO 19 or BIO 119) and BIO 9 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
Processes fundamental to all living things such as energy utilization, growth, development, and reproduction will be examined from the perspective of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved. The goal will be a comprehension of the functioning of the living organism as embedded in the integration of these fundamental biological mechanisms. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces patterns and processes of organisms and groups of organisms with emphasis on their origin, evolution, and the relationships among them and their environments. Topics include evolution, population genetics, systematics, animal behavior and ecology. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Pre-requisite BIO 103 is required. Pre-requisite of not having taken BIO 1S or BIO 4 is required.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will cover aspects of the scientific method as it relates to biology. Students will read primary scientific literature, attend departmental seminars, and write and give oral critiques of the research and seminars. Emphasis is placed upon establishing competency in reading and communicating the science of biology.
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes the scientific nature of biology and hypothesis testing. The course focuses on experimental design, data collection and quantitative analysis, and interpretation and discussion of results. Students will learn to write scientific manuscripts and proposals as well as to prepare posters and oral presentations of results. Pre-requisite of BIO 103 & 105 are required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a study of Mendelian inheritance, multiple gene inheritance, gene structure and function, gene mapping mutation, gene regulation, evolutionary genetics and other basic concepts in genetics. The laboratory will consist of exercises utilizing microorganisms, viruses, insects and plants. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Pre-requisite BIO 103 and BIO 104 are required.
-
4.00 Credits
Cell biology covers ultrastructure, structurefunction relations, and the coupling and regulation of various processes in living cells. Specific topics include cellular energetics, regulation of metabolic processes, organization of cellular structures, and cell - to - cell communication. BIO 108 may be taken in the same semester as BIO 107. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisites of BIO 103, 104 and Prerequisite or Co-requisite of BIO 107 are required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to relationships existing among organisms and between organisms and their environment. Emphasis is placed on learning the basic ecological processes that govern the distribution and abundance of organisms on the earth. Laboratory stresses the experimental approach to ecology. Students research a topic, design and conduct their own experiments, analyze results, and write papers. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Pre-requisite BIO 103 and BIO 104 are required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course takes a mechanisms approach to evolution. The class begins with the Hardy- Weinberg principle and then examines the various processes that affect allele frequencies in populations over time, such as genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection, sexual selection, and mutation. Other topics are examined, such as speciation and systematics. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory/discussion. Prerequisite of BIO 107 is required.
