3306 Biological Evolution (3-3-0) Prerequisite: General Genetics BIOL 3303 Evolution is the central organizing paradigm in biology; aspects of biology can be understood without recourse to evolutionary theory but a deep understanding of biology and the diversity of life is impossible without it. This course seeks to establish a basic, solid understanding in what biological evolution is and its causes allowing the student to speak intelligently about evolution to others. Evidence of evolution, mechanisms for evolutionary change, adaptations, speciation, and phylogenetics are emphasized.
3140 Biology of Fungi Laboratory (1-0-3) Cross-listed as MBIO 3150. Credit may not be earned for both. Prerequisite: Credit or enrollment in BIOL 3340. Laboratory fee required: $30. A study of the principles and applications of techniques for isolation, culture, and identification of fungi; and a study of the characteristics of fungal growth, nutrition, metabolism and genetics.
3390 Biotechnology Workshop (3-8-0) Prerequisite: Credit or enrollment in BIOL 3300 This course will focus on current biotechnologies. Students will be introduced to Recombinant DNA technology, Protein isolation, purification, analysis (SDS-PAGE/western blot), protein-protein interaction in vitro, cell culture, epifluorescence microscopyvia lecture presentations and hands on experience. Various speakers from biotechnology related area will be invited to expose students to various high-end technology used in laboratory to answer specific questions. Activities may include field trips to local facilities and introduce students to ethics in research.
3150 Ornithology Laboratory (1-0-3) Prerequisite: Credit or enrollment in BIOL 3350. Laboratory fee required: $30.
