-
4.00 Credits
A Bio 111Z is the writing intensive version of A Bio 111; only one may be taken for credit. Offered spring semester only.
-
3.00 Credits
The biological roles of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals; digestion, absorption, and storage of nutrients, the chemical nature of foods and food processing; assessment of nutritional status; interactions of nutrients and disease; food supplementation and community nutrition. Does not yield credit toward the major in biology. [NS]
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Issues from the current literature in selected areas of biological sciences. Particular areas of study to be announced each semester. Intended for students interested in exploring in depth themes covered in large lecture classes.? Prerequisite(s): consult instructor for specific prerequisites. S/U or A-E graded. May be repeated for credit when topic varies.
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of human genetics emphasizing the principles and mechanisms of inheritance and including the analysis of the genetic material of humans; the behavior of genes in individuals families, and populations; and the implications for human behavior and evolution, medicine, and society. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 110Z 110 and 111Z or permission of instructor. Does not yield credit toward the major in biology.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the human organism focusing on evolution, development and behavior, and emphasizing applications and implications for modern life and human society. Yields credit toward the major in human biology but not towards the major in biology.?May not be offered in 2008-2009.
-
4.00 Credits
Genetics from the classical Mendelian Laws of inheritance to molecular genetics. Topics will include: DNA structure and replication; Mendelian genetics and recombination; population, fungal, somatic cell, and bacterial genetics; gene organization; the genetic code; mechanisms of gene expression and regulation; and applications of genetic technology. Three class periods and one discussion section. Prerequisite(s): A grade of C (2.0) or better in A Bio 111Z or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
Advancements in biological sciences necessitate decisions about how to use new information, techniques, and technology. This course examines the impact of specific innovations on society, health care, and the environment.? The effects of public perception on implementation of scientific discoveries will be considered. Prerequisite: A Bio 111 or 111Z or equivalent. May not be offered in 2008-2009.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to modern cell biology. This course will present the basic organization of eukaryotic cells while stressing their elaborate structural-functional integration. The cell's fundamental properties conserved through evolution will be stressed. May not be taken for credit by students who have credit in A Bio 301 or A Bio 304. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 212Y.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the great group of organisms that form the basis of our food web and provide us with our oxygen. Topics will include plant origins and evolution, physiology, morphology, and development. Along the way we will consider more general principles of body design and pattern formation, the unfolding of complex form from relatively unstructured beginnings. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 111 or equivalent, or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This interdisciplinary course will focus on viruses and their impact on human society. It will offer a multi-faceted examination of viruses such as Ebola, SARS, West Nile, HPV and HIV, not only as microbes and pathogens, but also as vehicles for the transport of genetic materials, as evolving populations of individuals, as self-assembled nanoscale supramolecular aggregates, and as self-replicating packages of control logic. This will be followed by a wide range of case studies, each of which will connect one virus to some of the complex, capacious and evolving public issues associated with the political, economic, religious, feminist, agricultural, medical, pharmaceutical, and socio-economic implications of its spread. Finally, one virus and the disease it causes, HIV/AIDS, will be used to provide an in-depth example of the evolution of a viral pandemic, from the molecular to the international stage, and the impact of culture, integration and limited international resource allocation on its global ascendance. For the benefit of chemistry majors taking the course, biological concepts germane to the subject matter will be covered. Only one of A Bio 219 and A Chm 219?may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 11 and A Chm 121. May not be offered 2008-2009.
