BIO 3 - (NS) Biology in Society
Laboratory and lecture course designed to introduce the student to tenets of modern biology and provide scientific background for current issues involving biology in society. Consideration of the basic principles of ecology, evolution by natural selection, Mendelian and human genetics, and basic gene expression form a foundation for understanding ozone depletion, global warming, loss of habitat, pesticide and antibiotic resistance, and genetic engineering. Laboratory time is used to demonstrate the scientific method, isolate DNA, and provide a hands-on opportunity to survey the Five Kingdoms of living organisms. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory.)
