Biology - BIOL

An introductory cell and molecular biology course covering basics of inorganic chemistry, water, pH, biological macromolecules, cell structure, membrane physiology, cell signaling, metabolism, cell division, heredity, gene expression, and gene regulation. Both BIOL 190A & BIOL 190L are prerequisites for the following biology courses: BIOL 201, and BIOL 251. BIOL 190L can be taken as a pre or co-requisite for BIOL 223. BIOL 190A is a prerequisite for BIOL 223.

Survey of contemporary biology topics including major biological molecules, cell structure and function, basic physiology, cellular metabolism, and genetics. For majors who require biology as part of their professional career preparation; cannot be used as a pre-requisite for BIOL 191. Credit allowed in only one of BIOL 189A or BIOL 190A.

A survey of marine environments and their biotic communities with an emphasis on the natural history of marine organisms. This course is designed for non-science majors or anyone with a general interest in marine biology. Includes hands-on activities to be completed at home and virtual laboratory experiences online, including several virtual dissections. Satisfies the general education requirement in natural sciences and is transferable to UNLV as a general education course in the natural sciences.

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.
