A study of cell structure and function with emphasis on the properties of intracellular organelles and their molecular constituents. Includes photosynthesis.

Fundamental properties of inheritance in eukaryotic organisms emphasizing examples in man. Basic concepts are developed for the nature, organization, transmission, expression, recombination, and function of genetic materials, and principles are derived for genetically characterizing populations.

This course is an introduction to ecological principles covering physiological, behavioral, population, community, ecosystem, landscape and global ecology. This course examines the integrated working of nature at all levels, from atoms and molecules to global cycles that sustain life on earth. The ecology of individuals is examined, in the realm of physiological ecology and in the adaptations of organisms to the abiotic factors of the environment.

An interdisciplinary approach to examination of inland waters including lakes, streams, marshes and swamps. Emphasis on the biotic, chemical and geological components of these aquatic ecosystems.

Emphasis on techniques used in Biological field work. Units 1-3 will be covered with 1 or more of remaining units covered based on faculty expertise.

Biostatistics instructs students in statistical procedures for analysis of biological data. Students will organize and summarize biological data, develop, and test appropriate hypotheses, explain and apply common statistical tests, and use statistical software to analyze data.
