  • BIOL 1040: PRIN & ISSUES HUMAN HEREDITY

    3.00 Credits
    Robert Morris University

    This course begins with a discussion of how heredity changed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Darwinian and Mendelian theories are presented. A thorough discussion of cells, chromosomes, and cell division is followed by an analysis of the transmission of genes from generation to generation as exemplified by Mendel=s laws. Pedigree analysis and human genetics are explained by dominant and recessive traits, sex-linked inheritance, and genetic maps. Cytogenetics occupies a large section of the course. Polyploidy, aneuploidy, Klinefelter and Turner syndromes are examined. Human reproduction and embryology are studied. DNA structure, the genetic code, and manufacture of proteins are highlights. Metabolic disorders such as phenylketonuria, sickle cell anemia, and the thalassemia are discussed. Mutation, recombinant DNA, and its application are followed by a discussion of genes, cancer, and the immune system. Population genetics, human diversity and evolution, and genetic screening and counseling conclude the course. Principles of scientific inquiry are integrated throughout the course.

  • BIOL 1050: CONC & CONTROVERSIES NUTRITION

    3.00 Credits
    Robert Morris University

    This course begins with a general overview of the benefits of certain foods to human health. Nutrition standards and guidelines are recommended. The remarkable human body is discussed with particular emphasis on cells, hormones, digestive, and excretory systems. A thorough study of how carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and mineral chemistry affect the human organism is presented. The symbiosis between and among nutrients, energy, physical activity and weight control, and the body's responses to these interactions is explained. Proper nutrition and its benefits to disease prevention are emphasized. The life cycle nutrition from pregnancy to later-life years is discussed. Students become familiar with various nutritional charts and tables and, as a result, are encouraged to examine their own dietary practices and to modify their behavior to improve their nutritional health. The course concludes with an overview of the methods of food safety and food technology, hunger, and the global environment. Principles of scientific inquiry are integrated throughout the course.
