-
3.00 Credits
Surveys the form and function of chordate anatomy. Attention given to structure, morphogenesis, functional adaptations, evolutionary history and pattern. Laboratory emphasis is placed on cartilaginous fish, lamprey or amphibian, and mammal.
Prerequisite:
BIOL110 AND BIOL111
-
3.00 Credits
Surveys the structure and function of vertebrate cells and tissues from various body systems. Laboratory studies include the use of prepared microscope slides and color photomicrographs.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides a general overview of the viral world and its diversity. Examines the basic biological properties of animal viruses, viral replication, and induced immune responses. Discusses methods of surveillance and control from a population perspective, current uses of viruses in gene therapy/vaccine development, oncogenic viral pathogens, and emerging viruses.
Prerequisite:
BIOL209 OR BIOL211
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Studies anatomy, physiology, and taxonomy of microorganisms with a primary emphasis on prokaryotes. The laboratory component provides critical hands-on experience in standard bacteriological techniques involving the handling, cultivation, isolation, and identification of microorganisms. Additional emphasis will be placed on the role of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms as it relates to environmental and public health issues.
Prerequisite:
BIOL211 OR BIO202 OR BIO3370 OR BIO3372 OR BIOL209 OR BLGY271 OR BLGY332
-
3.00 Credits
Expands on concepts in microbiology and cell biology to provide a further understanding of microorganisms and their role in human disease. A systems-based approach will be used to examine the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of disease-causing pathogens. Host defenses to infection will also be covered. The laboratory component is included to provide a working knowledge of a variety of clinical tests that are used to identify microorganisms.
Prerequisite:
BIOL211 AND BIOL340
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the nature of vascular plant diseases, the biology of plant pathogens and the impact of plant diseases on society. Students will be introduced to the principles of plant pathology, including: disease and pathogen classification, modes of pathogenesis, host response to disease agents and disease management practices, which may include diseases by insects, humans or microorganisms. Students will gain practical experience in the identification of plant pathogens, methods and diagnostic techniques.
Prerequisite:
BIOL211 OR BIOL209
-
3.00 Credits
Presents the basic principles of dendrology: the identification, morphology, physiology, ecology and economic significance of trees, shrubs and woody vines. Emphasis is placed on species of eastern North American forests. The lab portion of the course includes fieldwork.
Prerequisite:
BIOL111
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the study of insects.? Emphasis will be placed on internal and external structure and function, unity and diversity among Class Insecta and Phylum Arthropoda, and applied entomology.?
Prerequisite:
BIOL301
-
3.00 Credits
Presents nuclear structure and the effects of radiation on living organisms; discusses fundamental properties of radiation, including physical, chemical, and genetic effects on plants and animals from cells to whole organisms; and includes application of radiochemicals in biological studies.
Prerequisite:
BIOL208 AND PHYS208 OR BIOL209 OR PHYS206 OR PHYS211
-
3.00 Credits
Explores contemporary ecosystem science, focusing on two core concepts: energetics and biogeochemistry of ecosystems. This course will explore the interactions of terrestrial ecosystems (vegetative communities, forests, and soils) and aquatic systems (streams and lakes). Case studies and field work will be used to demonstrate the tools and methods by which ecosystem processes can be measured and analyzed.
Prerequisite:
CHEM121
