  • BIOL 218a: Cellular Structure and Function

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    An introduction to cell biology, with a focus on subcellular organization in eukaryotes. The regulation and coordination of cellular events, and the specializations associated with a variety of cell types are considered. Topics include organelle function, the cytoskeleton, and mechanisms of cell division. Laboratory work centers on investigations of cell function with an emphasis on biological imaging. Ms. Pokrywka. Two 75-minute periods, one 4-hour lab.

  • BIOL 226a: Animal Structure and Diversity

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    The structures and functions of animals are compared, analyzed, and interpreted in a phylogenetic context. Emphasis is placed on the unique innovations and common solutions evolved by different taxonomic groups to solve problems related to feeding, mobility, respiration, and reproduction. Laboratory work centers on the comparative study of the anatomy of species representative of the major animal phyla.. Instructor to be announced. Three 50-minute periods; one 4-hour laboratory.

  • BIOL 228a: Animal Physiology

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    A comparative examination of the mechanisms that animals use to move, respire, eat, reproduce, sense, and regulate their internal environments. The physiological principles governing these processes, and their ecological and evolutionary consequences, are developed in lecture and applied in the laboratory. Ms. Crespi, Mr. Long. Required: Psychology 200 or Mathematics 141. Recommended: Chemistry 108, 109, and Physics 113. Three 50-minute periods; one 4-hour laboratory.

  • BIOL 238a: Principles of Genetics

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    Principles of genetics and methods of genetic analysis at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Emphasis is placed on classical genetic experiments, as well as modern investigative techniques such as recombinant DNA technology, gene therapy, genetic testing, and the use of transgenic plants and animals. Laboratory work includes experiments on prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Ms. Pokrywka, Ms Czesak, Ms. Kennell. Three 50-minute periods; one 4-hour laboratory.

  • BIOL 241a: Ecology

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    Population growth, species interaction, and community patterns and processes of species or groups of species are discussed. The course emphasizes these interactions within the framework of evolutionary theory. Local habitats and organisms are used as examples of how organisms are distributed in space, how populations grow, why species are adapted to their habitats, how species interact, and how communities change. Field laboratories at Vassar Farm and other localities emphasize the formulation of answerable questions and methods to test hypotheses. Mr. Fritz , Ms. Ronsheim. or Ms Czesak Three 50-minute periods; one 4-hour field laboratory.

  • BIOL 244a: Genomics

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    Evolution, structure, and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, from the perspective of whole-genome sequencing projects. Current applications of genomics for diagnosis and treatment of human disease, ecological and environmental issues, and evolutionary biology. Labs focus on conducting two functional genomics experiments using micro arrays, cDNA libraries, and bioinformatics analysis to profile genes involved in disease processes and responses to environmental stress. Ms. Schwarz. Prerequisites: Biology 106. Three 50-minute classes, 4-hour laboratory.

  • BIOL 260b: Comparative and Functional Vertebrate Anatomy

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    This course integrates the classic study of comparative anatomy with the rapidly advancing fields of phylogenetics, paleontology, biomechanics, and physiology. Weekly labs give students the opportunity to investigate the morphological and physiological adaptations associated with skeletal, muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive and nervous systems in each vertebrate class. This knowledge of animal form and function is applied to understanding the major evolutionary events within the vertebrate lineage: origin of bone, jaws and legs, transitions from water to land to air, and the adaptive radiations of dinosaurs, bony fishes, and mammals. Lectures focus on the ideas of adaptation and constraint, the design of simulations and experiments used to test macroevolutionary predictions, and the use of the comparative method to advance biomedical research initiatives. Mr. Long, Ms. Erica Crespi. Two 3-hour labs. Recommended; Physics 113.
