BIOL 310
This course is an examination of evidence for the theories of evolution with special attention to the modem synthesis of genetic and ecological factors. Also considered are the implications of evolution for religious thought.BIOL 326
This course is a study of the general principles of ecology of microorganisms, plants, and animals. Special emphasis is on field study of several communities.BIOL 338
This course is an examination of morphology and anatomy of the vascular plants and a study of the fundamental life processes of plants: growth; reproduction; irritability; metabolism; and hormonal control.BIOL 341
This course is an introduction to the structure and physiology of the eukaryotic cell.
BIOL 343
This course is a study of morphology and physiology of microorganisms, principles of lab technique, and cultural characteristics and environmental influences on microbial growth.
BIOL 351
This course is an introduction to the structural organization and chemical composition of cells and to fundamental chemical processes carried on inside organelles. Included are enzymatic action, transport across biological membranes, and basic metabolic pathways as they relate to cell structure. The laboratory focuses on current techniques for the isolation and analysis of basic biomolecules and on some practical applications of enzymology. (This course may be taken for credit as CHEM 351.)
BIOL 352
This course is an introduction to the biosynthesis of biomolecules, gene expression and control, and recombinant DNA technology. The laboratory focuses on current techniques for probing biochemical reactions and for isolating and engineering DNA. (This course may be taken for credit as CHEM 352.)
