4.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of plants. Basic principles of plant anatomy, physiology, development, and diversity are covered as well as specialized topics, including plant genetic engineering, plant disease and stress, medicinal plants, plants and the environment, and sustainable agriculture. Prerequisites: BILD 1 and BILD 2.
-
4.00 Credits
The cellular and molecular basis of plant development, including plant hormones, signal transduction mechanisms, light and plant growth, plant microorganism interaction, plant transformation, genetic engineering of plants. Prerequisites: BIBC 102 required; BICD 120 recommended.
-
6.00 Credits
Techniques in plant cell and tissue culture, plant transformation, genetic selection and screening of mutants, host pathogen interactions, gene regulation, organelle isolation, membrane transport. Two hours of lecture and eight hours of laboratory each week. Prerequisites: upper-division standing; BICD 120 strongly recommended. Attendance at the first lecture/lab is required. Nonattendance will result in the student’s being dropped from the course roster.
-
4.00 Credits
Developmental biology of animals at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. Basic processes of embryogenesis in a variety of invertebrate and vertebrate organisms. Cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie cell fate determination and cell differentiation. More advanced topics such as pattern formation and sex determination are discussed. Open to upper-division students only. Three hours of lecture and one hour of recitation. Prerequisites: upper-division standing; BICD 100; BIBC 100 or BIBC 102; BICD 110 strongly recommended, BIMM 100 strongly recommended.
-
6.00 Credits
Descriptive and experimental embryology of various animal species. One and one-half hours of lecture and ten hours of laboratory each week Prerequisites: BILD 1; BILD 2. Attendance at the first lecture/lab is required. Nonattendance will result in the student’s being dropped from the course roster.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is addressed to the development of the human sexual system, including gametogenesis, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Emphasis is placed on the physiology of reproductive functions. Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion. Prerequisites: BIBC 102 and BICD 100.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to all aspects of the AIDS epidemic. Topics will include the epidemiology, biology, and clinical aspects of HIV infection, HIV testing, education and approaches to therapy, and the social, political, and legal impacts of AIDS on the individual and society. In order to count for their major, biology majors must take the upper-division course, BICD 136. Prerequisites: BILD 1, BILD 2 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
Formation and function of the mammalian immune system, molecular and cellular basis of the immune response, infectious diseases and autoimmunity. Prerequisites: BICD 100, BIMM 100. BIBC 100 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses upon a molecular and immunological approach to study problems in modern medical research. The emphasis will be on novel approaches in medicine, including lymphocyte biology, cancer biology, and gene transfer. Prerequisites: BIBC 103, BIMM 100. Attendance at the first lecture/lab is required. Nonattendance will result in the student’s being dropped from the course roster.
-
4.00 Credits
