Undergraduate:
BIO
1112- Principles of Biology II
Unifying concepts of species and adaptations of species
to change. The first semester is an overview of cell biology
including cell structure, cell metabolism, cell
reproduction, enzyme action, DNA, protein, and genetics.
Adaptations at the organismic level are investigated in the
second semester with the emphasis on maintenance and control
systems as they evolved for organisms to live in various
habitats. The labratory emphasizes basic techniques and is
an integral component of each semester. Students will design
and implement their own experiment in the lab section of
this course.
Prerequisites: BIO 1112, Mathamatics 0001 or 0003
Offered: Every spring semester

BIO
1115- Human Heredity: A User's Guide
Human genetics and evolution for the non-science major.
Themes of the course include our own heredity, the
technology of cytogenetics and genetic engineering that
enables us to study and, in some cases, to manipulate
genetic material, the genetic basis of evolution theory, and
the assessment of such information as reported to the
public.
Prerequisites: Mathamatics 0001 or 0003

a framework for ethical decision making based on
philosophical principles.
This course does not satisft the natural science and
mathematics requirement
