Biology - BIOL

An introductory course examining evolution and adaptation in organisms. Includes a review of history of the scientific process, Darwinian and Neo-Darwinian evolution, introduction to genetic variation, natural and artificial selection, theories on the origin of life, human evolution and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Three hours of lecture per week and four labs per semester.

This course will provide a framework for understanding the fundamental, biological processes that are involved in human behavior and cognition. Topics surveyed will introduce basic principles of neuroscience, including: the divisions of the human nervous system, the cells of the nervous system and neural function. In addition, students will engage in discussion of how brain function supports higher-order cognitive processes and how behavior and cognition are impacted by neurological diseases. Same as PSY 105.

An introductory course to the roles and responsibilities of a career in wildlife technology including the ethical and professional responsibilities. Emphasis will be made in the exploration of wildlife careers, methods of applying for and obtaining jobs, research, volunteer, and professional training opportunities. The importance of data collection and reporting at the technician level will be underscored.

An introductory course emphasizing the processes of science and the fundamentals of biology. Includes a basic introduction to molecules, cells and metabolism, the flow of genetic information, evolutionary theory, and ecological processes. Connects life science concepts to the understanding of everyday concerns such as human health. Designed for the non-science major and meets UNR core curriculum science requirement; cannot be used for credit toward biology major. Three lecture hours per week and four laboratory experiences throughout the semester.
