3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the study of plant disease. Discussion consists of the kinds of disease in plants, the agents causing them, and factors which influence disease development with special emphasis on symptomatology and disease control.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115
-
0.00 Credits
As plants are developing and reproducing they are often subjected to environmental stress, which can be quite severe. Temperature extremes, drought, flooding, unavailability of nutrients, toxic minerals, and airborne pollutants are examples of such stress factors. This course deals with the symptoms of stress and the mechanisms by which some plants overcome these problems. Lab exercises provide experience in applying appropriatemethods to the study of stress effects and plant responses.
-
4.00 Credits
The emphasis in this course is introductory in nature; consequently, all aspects of ornithology will be discussed with an emphasis on evolution, ecology, behavior, and adaptation. In the laboratory, field identification and behavioral observation of birds of the eastern United States will be stressed through field trips to local and regional parks and refugees.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115
-
0.00 Credits
This course is a study of microscopic forms of life with emphasis upon bacteria. Special attention will be given to growth, metabolism, and control of microorganisms. Consideration is given to the relationship of microbes to health and disease. In the laboratory, techniques of isolation, staining, biochemical, characterization, and serology are stresses.
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes a study of the principles of Mendelian genetics and theories of inheritance including the chemical nature, location, organization and transfer of the information encoded in nucleic acids. Aspects of population and medical genetics are reviewed.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a comprehensive survey of the major phyla of invertebrate animals. The morphology, functional biology, ecology, evolutionary history, and phylogeny of invertebrate taxa will be covered. The minor invertebrate phyla will be introduced. Laboratory is required.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115
-
0.00 Credits
This course is an introductory study of animal organ systems, their functions and mechanisms of function as related to whole organism homeostasis. Topics include energetics, temperature and fluid regulation, and nervous and hormonal controls.
-
3.00 Credits
The Animal Behavior course will provide an introduction to the study of ethology. The course will begin with a historical account of the development of ethology as a science followed by discussions of the evolutionary, genetic, and physiological bases of various types of behaviors.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115 AND BIOL200
-
1.00 Credits
This course complements the Animal Behavior lecture course. Laboratory topics are chosen to facilitate an in-depth analysis of specific topics discussed in lecture. Emphasis will be placed on observing, measuring, analyzing, and reporting behavioral patterns observed in laboratory and field conditions. (BIOL 350 taken concurrently)
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115 AND BIOL350 AND BIOL200
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide the students with theory and basic techniques of plant and animal cell cultures. These include aseptic techniques, media preparation, establishment of primary culture, maintenance and propagation, contamination control, transformation, transfection, cloning, and fusion of cultured cells.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115 AND CHEM121 AND CHEM123 AND CHEM124 AND CHEM126
