BIOL1030 - Wrld Of Plants-Struct/Function
Summer 2013 This course is aimed at the student who is not only interested in botany as a science but in its application to the fields of horticulture, floriculture, and forestry. The student is introduced to plant tissues as well as to an overview of the plant body. Both monocot and dicot plants are represented. Emphasis is then placed on a thorough study of roots, stems, and leaves of woody and non-woody plants. Plant physiology, nutrition, and transport are considered. Transpiration and its effect on the plant is stressed. Transport of organic substances in translocation and pressure flow are reviewed. Plant reproduction from micro spores to eggs, pollination, and fertilization in both gymnosperms and angiosperms is studied. Methods of asexual reproduction are included. Plant growth by means of auxins and gibberellins is presented. Processes such as tropisms, photoperiodism, vernalization, senescence, and dormancy are followed. Taxonomy of the major phyla is studied. The course concludes with the application of plant study to horticulture, floriculture, and forestry. Principles of scientific inquiry are integrated throughout the course. 3 Credits |

BIOL1040 - Prin & Issues Human Heredity
Summer 2013 This course begins with a discussion of how heredity changed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Darwinian and Mendelian theories are presented. A thorough discussion of cells, chromosomes, and cell division is followed by an analysis of the transmission of genes from generation to generation as exemplified by Mendel=s laws. Pedigree analysis and human genetics are explained by dominant and recessive traits, sex-linked inheritance, and genetic maps. Cytogenetics occupies a large section of the course. Polyploidy, aneuploidy, Klinefelter and Turner syndromes are examined. Human reproduction and embryology are studied. DNA structure, the genetic code, and manufacture of proteins are highlights. Metabolic disorders such as phenylketonuria, sickle cell anemia, and the thalassemia are discussed. Mutation, recombinant DNA, and its application are followed by a discussion of genes, cancer, and the immune system. Population genetics, human diversity and evolution, and genetic screening and counseling conclude the course. Principles of scientific inquiry are integrated throughout the course. 3 Credits |

BIOL1050 - Conc & Controversies Nutrition
Summer 2013 This course begins with a general overview of the benefits of certain foods to human health. Nutrition standards and guidelines are recommended. The remarkable human body is discussed with particular emphasis on cells, hormones, digestive, and excretory systems. A thorough study of how carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and mineral chemistry affect the human organism is presented. The symbiosis between and among nutrients, energy, physical activity and weight control, and the body's responses to these interactions is explained. Proper nutrition and its benefits to disease prevention are emphasized. The life cycle nutrition from pregnancy to later-life years is discussed. Students become familiar with various nutritional charts and tables and, as a result, are encouraged to examine their own dietary practices and to modify their behavior to improve their nutritional health. The course concludes with an overview of the methods of food safety and food technology, hunger, and the global environment. Principles of scientific inquiry are integrated throughout the course. 3 Credits |

BIOL2420 - Organismal Biology
Summer 2013 The principle objective of this course is for students to develop an understanding of the classification, structure, biology and diversity of living organisms, focusing of vertebrate animals, but also covering some groups of invertebrates. We will explore the form, function, and life history of organisms, focusing on the evolutionary relationships among major taxonomic groups. The focus of the course will be on understanding how species live, and how species traits allow them to survive. Prerequisite: BIOL2310 3 Credits |

BIOL2470 - Botany
Summer 2013 The student is introduced to plant tissues as well as to an overview of the plants. All aspects of the evolutionary tree of photosynthesizers is represented; from cyanobacteria to monocot and dicot angiosperms. Emphasis is then placed on a thorough study of roots, stems, and leaves of woody and non-woody plants. Plant physiology, nutrition, and transport are considered. Transpiration and its effect on the plant is stressed. Transport of organic substances in translocation and pressure flow are reviewed. Plant reproduction from micro spores to eggs, pollination, and fertilization in both gymnosperms and angiosperms is studied. Methods of asexual reproduction are included. Plant hormones are discussed. Processes such as tropisms, photoperiodism, vernalization, senescence, and dormancy are followed. Taxonomy of the major of the major phyla is studied. The course concludes with the application of plant study to horticulture, floriculture, and forestry. Principles of scientific inquiry are integrated throughout the course.
