4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory and field, 3 hours. A broad examination of the patterns and processes involved in the evolution of life on earth. Includes inquiry into the origin of life, microevolutionary processes, systematics, and large-scale evolutionary history. Prerequisite: BIOL 123.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. Gene structure and function at the level of DNA, RNA, and protein interactions. Emphasis on molecular analytical techniques used for genetic analysis in a diversity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Prerequisites: BIOL 123 and CHEM 335A.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. The biochemical and molecular processes of pathogenic organisms within the three major groups of microbes: bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Prerequisites: BIOL 123 and CHEM 335A.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. An introduction to structural and molecular organization of eukaryotic cells and tissues. Specific topics will represent the central core of cell biology and are concerned mainly with those properties that are common to most eukaryotic cells. Prerequisites: BIOL 123 and CHEM 335A.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 2 hours; laboratory, 6 hours. Principles and techniques of accessing biomolecular databases and analyzing retrieved sequences of nucleic acids and proteins. Statistical tools, sequences alignments, pattern mapping, structural modeling, and phylogenetics will be explored. Examples will be selected from plants, animals, fungi, protists, bacteria, and viruses. Laboratory will involve computer exercises, projects, discussions, and student presentations. Prerequisites: BIO 123 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. Course examines the adaptations and physiological responses that allow animals to live under widely different environmental conditions. Laboratory and field exercises will utilize modern techniques of physiological measurement to examine adaptive strategies among and between species in different environmental conditions. Prerequisite: BIOL 123.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. Concepts and principles of plant function. The following areas are investigated in detail: photosynthesis, water relations, mineral nutrition, and plant growth regulation. Prerequisite: BIOL 123.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. Principles and concepts of animal function, with emphasis on cellular and biochemical/molecular bases of physiological activities in tissues and organ systems, environmental adaptations, and comparative homeostatic mechanism. Prerequisite: BIOL 123.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. The biology, epidemiology, ecology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prevention of parasitic disease affecting animals and humans. Students will learn about the host-parasite relationship in the context of how social, economic, and ecological factors contribute to the parasitic infections and disease. Labs involve microscopic identification of prepared and live specimens. Prerequisite: BIOL 123.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; discussion, 1 hour. Viruses: their characteristics, classification, genetics, and host-parasite interactions, including methods of disease prevention, control, and applications in biotechnology. Prerequisites: BIOL 123 and CHEM 335A.
