This course deals with the basic principles of biology. Consideration is given to cell biology and structural and functional organization of plants and animals. Principles of reproduction, genetics, and ecology are introduced as well as a brief survey of the kingdoms of living organisms. Beginning course for all biology majors. (Three hours lecture and two hours lab per week.)

Major emphases in this course are placed on the anatomy and physiology of flowering plants. Also included are agricultural and horticultural applications, and an overview of the plant kingdom. Meets the general education laboratory science requirement.

This course is designed to deal with all the human body systems as to structure and function. Material covered is intended for those planning to teach biology in high school or enter the allied health professions, and to meet the needs of students majoring in physical education. Required of all physical education majors and biology majors in secondary education. (Two lectures and two hour labs per week.)

This course presents current information on the pests that have and continue to plague humans and animals. Students will explore the anthropods related to human health and those that impact livestock production, companion animals, and wildlife through direct attack, disease transmission, and management. The factors involved in the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, host, parasite, vector and reservoir, will be stressed as this is the recurrent theme in medical entomology.

The facts of heredity; reproduction and development; the mechanism of heredity; hybridization and Mendel's laws; heredity in man and in its broader social applications. Recommended for all biology majors and required of all biology majors in secondary education. (Two hours lecture and four hours lab per week.)

This course builds on the introduction to the invertebrates presented in BIO 110. It emphasizes the diversity, ecology, structure, and function of the invertebrate phyla of animals. The course surveys these phyla and discusses adaptations for homeostasis, reproduction, and interaction with the environment. An emphasis in the lab is on the use of invertebrates as indicators of water quality in natural ecosystems. (Three hours lecture and two hours lab per week.)

This course covers the cellular and molecular processes involved in generating an embryo, in creating various tissues and organs, and the effect of external stimuli on development. Topics include: genome structure, gene expression and regulation, cell cycle control, pattern formation, signal transduction, gametogenesis, organogenesis, and methods used in studying developmental biology.

Studies the structure and function of the cell, while examining the highly significant and diversified roles that cells play in living organisms. Includes information about major macromolecules, organelles and their functions, such as protein synthesis, cellular respiration, replication, and characteristics of different type cells. Lab includes biotechnological and biochemical experiments. (Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week.)
