Addresses basic principles and concepts of classical and molecular genetics in a laboratory setting. Students apply the scientific method and techniques commonly used in genetic analyses, including modern molecular biology techniques. The laboratory experiments are designed to provide a hands-on context for topics being presented in the corresponding Genetics course, BIOL2XX. Two hours of Laboratory per week.
Corequisite:
BIOL209
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Examines the structure and function of the cell and its organelles. Emphasis is placed on the general principles and processes by which all cells function; including metabolism, signaling, cell cycle, cell movement and interactions. Laboratory components emphasize the use of basic cell and molecular techniques to experimentally measure cellular processes and properties.

Prerequisite:
BIOL111 OR BIO107 OR BIO1102 OR BLGY115
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to the ecological theory and sampling techniques used to study aquatic ecosystems. Classroom activities will familiarize students with planning ecological studies. Field activities will include data collection from local ecosystems with an emphasis placed on research methods used by professionals to survey water quality, habitat, and biological communities. Students will also learn data analysis and presentation skills.
-
3.00 Credits
Survey and identification of the flora of Pennsylvania, with an emphasis on the non-woody vascular plants. Course will cover techniques for identifying, classifying, collecting and preserving plants. Students will become familiar with terms used to describe diagnostic plant traits, and will be proficient at using taxonomic and dichotomous keys.? Students will create portfolios and contribute to the campus herbarium collections. Projects will illustrate taxonomy, ecology, and habitats of the specimens in local areas.?
Prerequisite:
BIOL111
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Presents the scientific study of organisms and their interactions with the environment. This course surveys organismal ecology, population dynamics, community interactions, ecosystem function, and evolutionary ecology. The lab portion of the course is largely field-based.
Prerequisite:
