BIOL 3353 Fundamentals of Evolutionary Theory. (4) Fall
A balanced survey of the present-day concepts of the processes and
products of evolution with emphases on 1) contrasting models and their
consequences, 2) mass extinctions, 3) evolution of man, 4) methods of
science and pseudoscience, and 5) philosophical considerations.

A study of the microscopic features of vertebrate cells, tissues, and
organs. Lectures correlate cell structure with tissue or organ system
function. Laboratory experiences include the microscopic identification
of major tissues and organs at the cellular level.

An introduction to the principles of toxicology and the cellular,
physiological, and ecological effects of toxicants, with an emphasis on
the environmental and physiological effects of toxicants relating to the
nervous system, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system.
Prerequisites: BIOL 1101, 1101 L, 1102 and 1102 L or
BIOL 1148 and 1149
BIOL 3372 Molecular Biology. (4) Spring (odd years)
The study and application of molecular biology techniques that are
commonly used in many fields of science. Topics of study may include
recombinant DNA technology, DNA, RNA, and protein isolation,
polymerase chain reaction, DNA and protein agarose gel
electrophoresis, growth and evaluation of bacterial cultures and
colonies, DNA sequencing, and evaluation of data using biocomputing
techniques.
