BI 216L Cell Biology Laboratory This course includes exercises employing methods commonly used in studying areas in cell biology. Laboratory techniques include mammalian cell culture, DNA/protein electrophoresis, bacterial transformation, protein expression, and purification. To be taken in conjunction with BI216. 3 hours. 1 credit BI 310 Genetics This course is designed to introduce the student to DNA and its roles in the forming of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. Mendelian genetics, fundamental molecular genetics, and the genetic basis of evolution are included as well. P: BI 111, BI 112. 3 credits BI 310L Genetics Laboratory Laboratory exercises include DNA/protein electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction enzyme analysis, computer-based image analysis, and the manipulation of selected model organisms. To be taken in conjunction with BI 310. 3 hours. 1 credit BI 312 Developmental Biology The study of fundamental processes shared by organisms as they undergo the transition from a single-celled zygote to a multicellular adult. Topics include gametogenesis, fertilization, embryogenesis (cleavage, gastrulation, neurulation, organogenesis), cellular differentiation, pattern formation, and the aspects shared by both development and cancer. P: BI 111, BI 112, BI 216. 3 credits BI 312L Developmental Biology Lab Selected model organisms are examined in the laboratory (zebra fish, chick, F9 teratocarcinoma). To be taken in conjunction with BI 312. 3 hours. 1 credit BI 313 Human Physiology An in-depth course designed to study aspects of human anatomy and physiology. This course is recommended for students interested in continuing their studies in biology, especially those intending to apply to graduate or professional programs. It provides a more detailed study of human systems and their functions. P: BI 111, BI 112. 3 credits BI 313L Human Physiology Laboratory Laboratory exercises involve measuring and assessing different physiological responses and parameters. To be taken with BI 313. 3 hours. 1 credit
