3460 Genetics (3-3) Prerequisite: BIOL 1401. Designed for
majors, minors, and teaching fields. A study of genes and
their action. This course incorporates both classical
Mendelian and molecular genetics. (Fall)
4301 Introduction to Research (3-0) Prerequisite: senior
classification, completion of all required biology courses or
approval by department chair. Research on a biological
topic that can involve formulation of hypotheses, collection
and analyses of data, and discussion of results. Students
will also learn different styles of scientific writing, analyze
scientific literature, and learn how to prepare oral and written
presentations. This is the capstone course for Biology.
(Spring)
4310 Immunology (3-0) Prerequisite: BIOL 3410. Designed for
majors, minors, and teaching fields. A study of the basic
principles of resistance to disease by cellular and humeral
mechanisms of immunity. Included are antigen-antibody
interactions, transplantation immunity, hypersensitivity,
immunologic techniques, and relationship of disease to the
immune response. (as needed)
4311 Embryology (3-0) Prerequisites: BIOL 1401 and 1403, BIOL
3440 recommended. Designed for majors, minors, and
teaching fields. A study of embryological development in
animals with emphasis on the vertebrates. Gamete
production through organ development is included. (as
needed)
4330 Advanced Botany (3-0) Prerequisite: BIOL 1402. Designed
for majors, minors, and teaching fields. A study of major
botanical fields with an emphasis on flowering plants.
Topics included are plant taxonomy, plant anatomy, growth
and development, evolution, and economic botany. This
course is taught as a combination lecture and laboratory
course. (Spring odd years)
4340 Biology Field Studies. Prerequisites: 8 hours of BIOL and
permission of instructor. Designed for majors, minors, and
teaching fields. A study of the flora, fauna, landforms, and
ecology of selected sites primarily in the southwest and
Mexico. Classroom studies and an extended field trip offers
opportunities to view plants and wildlife in natural settings.
(as needed)
4350 Molecular Biology (3-0) Prerequisites: BIOL 3350 plus 8 hrs
from BIOL 3410, 3430 3450, 3460, and CHEM 3410, 3420.
Designed for majors, minors, and teaching fields. A study of
biology at the molecular level. Special emphasis is placed
on molecular events in such processes as gene expression,
energy conservation, organelle biosynthesis, growth and
division, cell signaling, and the development of multicellular
organisms. (Spring even years)
4430 Ecology (3-3) Prerequisites: BIOL 1401, 1402, 1403. Cross-
listed as ENVR 4430. Designed for majors, minors and
teaching fields in Biology and majors in Environmental
Science. Qualitative and quantitative studies of the
interrelationships existing between plants and animals and
their environments. Laboratory work involves field
collections, data analyses, and studies of plants and animals
in different ecosystems. Field trip required. (Spring)
4X95 Independent Studies. Prerequisites: permission of
instructor. Designed for majors. A study program or
research arranged between an advanced student and an
instructor to provide intensive study or investigation in a
particular area of interest. The course includes a definition
of goals appropriate for the student, ways of attaining those
goals, a schedule of frequent consultation, and means of
measuring progress. (as needed)XX99 Special Topics. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
Designed for majors. A course of study offered occasionally
to groups of students to broaden department curriculum, to
meet student demand, or to observe special events. May be
repeated for credit when topics vary. (as needed
4X96 Biology Honors Tutorial. Prerequisite: permission of
instructor. Designed for Biology Honors participants. This
course provides opportunities for investigations related to an
upper level biology course (with current enrollment) or as a
separate independent study. This course may be repeated.
(as needed)
4X97 Biology Honors Research. Prerequisite: Permission of
instructor. Designed for Biology Honors participants. This
course provides an opportunity to pursue a research topic
under the direction of a biology faculty member, resulting in
a final presentation to an appropriate audience. (as needed)45
