Evolution frames much of biology by providing insights into how and why things change over time. For example, the study of evolution is essential to: understanding transitions in biodiversity across time and space, elucidating patterns of genetic variation within and between populations, and developing both vaccines and treatments for human diseases. Topics in this course will include population genetics, molecular evolution, speciation, phylogenetics and macroevolution. Prerequisite: BIO 152 or BIO 154 or permission of the instructor.

Inquiry-based laboratory using techniques such as spectrophotometry, enzyme kinetics, bright field and fluorescence light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. There will be an emphasis on student-designed projects. This course is a prerequisite for Biochemistry I Laboratory (BCH 253). Prerequisite: BIO 202, (should be taken concurrently).

The structure and function of eukaryotic cells. This course will examine contemporary topics in cellular biology: cellular structures, organelle function, membrane and endomembrane systems, cellular regulation, signaling mechanisms, motility, bioelectricity, communication and cellular energetics. This course is a prerequisite for Biochemistry I (BCH 252). Prerequisites: BIO 150/151 and CHM 222. Laboratory (BIO 203) is recommended but not required.

Experiments will demonstrate concepts presented in BIO 200 and illustrate techniques and data analysis used in the study of physiology. BIO 200 must be taken concurrently.
