-
1.00 Credits
Topics include simple statistical analysis of data derived from crossing fruit flies or other organisms, cell hybridization, extraction of plasmids from bacteria, transformation and induction of mutations in bacteria. Corerequisite: BIO 272W. (Writing-intensive course) Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Basic physiological processes of animals are presented. Topics include nervous systems, muscle function, circulation of blood, respiration, osmoregulation, and excretion. Laboratory investigations extend the lecture presentation. Prerequisites: CH 230-231; or CH 114 and 136; or at least 16 credits in biology, including BIO 352. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of the cellular and humoral components of the immune system. The course surveys immunochemical methods and current theories of immunity. Topics include humoral immunity, cell-mediated immunity, cellular cooperation, hypersensitivity, transplantation, and cancer immunology. A series of immunochemical laboratory exercises reinforces basic concepts. Prerequisites: CH 230-231; or CH 114 and 136; or at least 16 credits in biology, including BIO 352. (Writing-intensive course)
-
1.00 Credits
The laboratory course provides the students with a survey of the major types of immunochemical methods and includes the development and evaluation of an antisera. Prerequisite or corequisite: Course in immunology or permission of instructor. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Detailed study of the structural and functional components of the cell, understood in terms of the molecular building blocks for each cellular component. Major concepts include evolution, chromosome structure, the cytoskeleton, membrane transport, the generation of cellular energy, vesicle trafficking, and cell cycle regulation. The laboratory makes extensive use of microscopy of live and fixed specimens, and includes some molecular biology. Prerequisites: BIO 122, or BIO 212 and BIO 213, depending on the major; and BIO 272W; and BIO 273W. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
A theoretical and practical course investigating the techniques of seedage, cuttage, grafting, and budding. Principles governing the identification, propagation, and growth of annuals, biennials, and perennials cultured under greenhouse or indoor conditions are considered. Prerequisite: 8 credits of biology. Laboratory fee.
-
0.50 Credits
This seminar reviews literature of one topic of current interest in biology, critically analyzing research papers and discussing the contribution of that research to the overall understanding of a particular problem in biology. Prerequisite: Admission through departmental approval to the Honors program.
-
15.00 Credits
The Department of Biology maintains a number of affiliations with agencies able to offer students a perspective-broadening internship experience that provides an opportunity to apply theoretical concepts, to develop expertise in fields outside faculty research interests, to broaden professional contacts and explore career goals. This off-campus activity is under close faculty supervision and requires related reading and writing assignments. Students may not accumulate more than 15 credits of internship in biology. Prerequisite: A minimum of six courses in biology that are applicable toward the major. Specific courses may be required for particular internship experiences. An overall GPA of 2.7 is required for consideration into the program.
-
4.00 Credits
A detailed study of vertebrate anatomy emphasizing adaptive evolutionary structures. Laboratory work includes dissection of selected chordates to demonstrate these structures. Prerequisite: BIO 123. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Hostparasite relationships of representative bacterial, fungal, viral, and protozoan pathogens are examined. An organ-system approach is used to survey pathogens, and this is correlated with laboratory materials. An introduction to immunology as a host defense mechanism and a diagnostic tool is included. Prerequisites: CH 110-111; or CH 114 and 136; and at least 12 credits in biology, including BIO 272W and BIO 273W. Laboratory fee.
