3.00 Credits
Block 6: Special Topics in Biology: Techniques in Molecular Ecology. A course on the techniques currently being employed in molecular ecology and molecular systematics, including the use of microsatellites, AFLP, ISSR, and DNA sequencing. This class will discuss current primary literature in the areas of ecology, systematics, conservation, and biodiversity, with an emphasis on the molecular techniques employed in those papers. The class will also learn the basics of nrDNA ITS sequencing, cpDNA sequencing, and ISSR analysis. Prerequisite: Biology 208. 1 unit - Wilson.

3.00 Credits
Biology of bacteria with molecular, biochemical and evolutionary considerations of ultrastructure, heredity, metabolism, growth and regulation. Through reading, discussing and critiquing primary literature, and developing a research proposal, the course integrates students' knowledge of biology and chemistry. Major assignments include written critiques of primary literature and a research proposal summarizing current understanding of a problem and then defending a set of new experiments to address the problem. Prerequisite: Biology 210 and Biology 361 or Biology 210 and Chemistry 382. 1 unit - Lostroh.
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture and laboratory course designed to complement BY465. Lectures will cover DNA replication, transcription and repair; gene regulation; virulence; plasmids and vectors; mutagenesis; genomic library production/screening; and genomics. Laboratories will introduce conventional cloning strategies; PCR amplification; T/A cloning; and PCR-based fingerprinting techniques (RAPDs, rep-PCR and ARDRA). There will be a paper on a current topic in microbial molecular biology and a bioinformatics project. Prerequisite: Biology 210, 361 and Chemistry 250. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture and laboratory course designed to complement BY464. Firsthand laboratory experience in the basic techniques and concepts of molecular biology, supplemented with readings and discussions of current literature. Lectures will cover Eukaryotic vectors, production of transgenic animals and plants, disease screening, gene therapy, and DNA fingerprinting. Laboratories will cover basic transformation, DNA fluorescent labeling, Southern analysis, Western analysis, and bioinformatics. Prerequisite: Biology 350 or 351 or 361 and Biology 210 and Chemistry 250. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
Whole plant physiology with an emphasis on selected environmental factors that influence various aspects of plant growth and development. Includes discussion sessions on contemporary ideas in the discipline, an independent laboratory/field investigation and an emphasis on writing a scientific paper. (364 or 208 recommended). Prerequisite: Consent of instructor or Biology 105 and Biology 210 (BY 364 or 208 recommended). 1 unit - Heschel.
-
2.00 Credits
Writing of the senior thesis based on data from an undergraduate research project. The thesis topic is to be chosen by the student following consultation with a member of the Biology Department faculty who agrees to serve as the project and thesis advisor. (Only 2 units from 309, 403, 409 may count toward the Biology major; only 1 unit of 499 may count toward the major.) 1 unit - Lostroh.
-
1.00 Credits
Selected topical areas, such as forensic science, materials science, environmental science, history of chemistry, chemistry and art, or nutritional, medicinal and consumer chemistry taught at the introductory level from a chemical perspective. Intended for (but not typically limited to) non-science majors, these courses will usually include moderate lab or fieldwork and independent or group research projects. Some topics may give Scientific Inquiry and Natural Science Lab credit. 1 or 2 units - Department Block 2: Studies in Chemistry: Criminalistics: An Introduction to Forensic Science. Prerequisite: FYE Course. 1st Years Only. Must take Chemistry 107 block one for credit. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) 1 unit - Brasuel.
-
3.00 Credits
107 emphasizes the basic principles of atomic structure, periodic properties, molecular structure and bonding, chemical reactions, and stoichiometry. Laboratory included. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor or 2yrs Studies in Humanities Algebra and 1yr Studies in Humanities Chemistry. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World lab or field requirement.) 1 unit - Bower, Brasuel, Daugherty, Lindeman, Meyer.
