1122. Introduction to Genetics Laboratory 1 hour
Prerequisite: BIO 1121 and concurrent enrollment or credit in BIO 1322
A laboratory course survey that focuses on the acquisition of basic research techniques and their application to selected laboratory projects. These projects will cover a variety of topics in basic genetics. BIO 1122 is to be taken as a companion course for BIO 1322.
1340. Human Anatomy and Physiology I 3 hours
Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment or credit in BIO 1140
This course will be dedicated to “constructing the human organism” beginning with the basic building block of the body, the cell. Subsequently, other systems vital to the construction process will be examined including, but not limited to, the skeletal, muscular, nervous, gastrointestinal and integumentary systems.
1140. Human Anatomy and Physiology I Laboratory 1 hour
Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment or credit in BIO 1340
The course will consist of laboratory observations, data collection and analysis about human cell structure and function body, the structure of bone and the organization of the skeleton, the skin, muscles of the upper and the lower body, the spinal cord and nerves and the brain and cranial nerves, as well as the digestive system. Students will keep records of observations in a laboratory notebook.
1341. Human Anatomy and Physiology II 3 hours
Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment or credit in BIO 1141
The course is dedicated to the “integrative systems” of the human body that facilitate nutrient delivery, waste removal, and the proliferation of life. Topics that will be examined include, but are not limited to, the respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, endocrine, renal, and reproductive system.
1141. Human Anatomy and Physiology II Laboratory 1 hour
Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment or credit in BIO 1341
This course will cover scientific method and measurement and involve laboratory observation and data collection about respiratory volumes and capacities, structure of the heart, the cardiac cycle, pulse rate and blood pressure, the functional anatomy of the lymphatic system, humoral factors governing homeostasis, the structure and function of the kidney and male and female reproductive biology. Students will keep records of observations in a laboratory notebook.
2320. Biostatistics 3 hours
Prerequisite: Biology Core
Examines descriptive and inferential statistical reasoning, parametric and nonparametric tests including analysis of variance, correlation, regression, non-parametric tests, Bayesian inference, standardization and life tables.
2324. Evolution and Ecology 3 hours
Prerequisite: BIO 1321, 1121, 1322, 1122, 2341, 2141 and concurrent enrollment or credit in BIO 2124
The interactions of populations with their environment, including natural selection, population genetics, speciation, ecosystems, and behavior.
2124. Evolution and Ecology Laboratory 1 hour
Prerequisite: BIO 1321, 1121, 1322, 1122, 2341, 2141 and concurrent enrollment or credit in BIO 2324
A laboratory course on the interactions of populations with their environment, including natural selection, population genetics, speciation, ecosystems, and behavior. One 3-hour meeting per week.
