    Modern laboratory techniques will be performed to study the cellular and humoral components of the immune system; immune cells and cell markers, immunoglobulin purification and characterization, antibody and antigen identification assays including immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis, and enzyme-based immunoassays (ELISA). One laboratory per week, plus additional flexible time as required. Prerequisite(s) or co-requisite(s): A Bio 335.
  • 3.00 Credits

    The structure and function of the nervous system examined at the cellular level. Topics include: organization of nervous systems; morphology and physiology of nerve cells; synaptic transmission; sensory processing; cellular circuitry underlying "simple" behaviors; cellular basis of learning; and the development of neuronal connections. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 111 or 111Z; prerequisite(s) or co-requisite(s): A Phy 108.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Experimental analyses of the morphology and electrophysiology of nerve cells. Experiments include the visualization of individual nerve cells through selective staining, stimulation and recording of electrical potentials in nerve cells; and an examination of synaptic transmission. Experiments will be performed on invertebrate nervous systems. One laboratory period each week. Prerequisite(s) or co-requisite(s): A Bio 341.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course illustrates the importance and utility of evolutionary perspectives on various topics related to human health.? In addition to the "how" questions, this course also introduces the "why" questions.? Various evolutionary hypotheses are examined.? Arguments for and counter-arguments against each hypothesis are presented to foster understanding of each topic.? Selected topics include infectious diseases, pathogen virulence, allergy/asthma, mental health/addiction, genetic disorders, diseases of civilization, sex, pregnancy, and aging. Prerequisite(s): A course in genetics.
  • 3.00 Credits

    The chemistry and biochemical interrelationship of carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids; enzyme catalysis and introduction to metabolism. Only one of A Chm 342 & A Bio 365 may be taken for credit. Prerequisites: A Chm 220 and A Chm 221 and a grade of C (2.0) or better in A Bio 212Y.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Control and regulation of metabolic pathways, expression and transmission of genetic information, and a variety of selected current topics. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 365.
  • 2.00 Credits

    This laboratory course is designed to provide basic training in various procedures used in present day biochemical research. These will include methods for protein purification, enzyme kinetics, peptide sequencing, and fractionation of intracellular components. In addition, biochemical processes such as glucose metabolism and photosynthesis will be studied. One laboratory period each week. Prerequisite(s) or co-requisite(s): A Bio 365 or equivalent and permission of instructor.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Students who are concurrently registered in, or have previously taken, any 300- or 400-level biology course which yields credit toward the major, may with permission of the instructor of that course, enroll in A Bio 389Z and fulfill a writing intensive version of that other course. One additional meeting per week in which writing techniques and experiences are stressed is required. Written work that will be used for credit in A Bio 389Z must be in addition to any writings required for the companion course. Prerequisite(s) or co-requisite(s): a companion biology course at the 300 or 400 level. S/U graded.
