Introduction to the identification, classification, and evolutionary
relationships of vascular plants with emphasis on
flowering plants. Includes the importance of herbaria, collection
techniques, and the construction and use of taxonomic
keys.
BIOL 2189 Academic Cooperative I
1 Hour (1-2)

study with practical hands-on work experience in the biological
sciences/life sciences. In conjunction with class
seminars, the individual student will set specific goals and
objectives in the study of living organisms and their systems.
Prerequisite: BIOL 1406 and 1407 or BIOL 2401 and
2402.
BIOL 2289 Academic Cooperative II
2 Hours (2-3)
An instructional program designed to integrate on-campus
study with practical hands-on work experience in the biological
sciences/life sciences. In conjunction with class
seminars, the individual student will set specific goals and
objectives in the study of living organisms and their systems.
Prerequisite: BIOL 1406 and 1407 or BIOL 2401 and
2402.

4 Hours (3-4)
This course is designed to enable students to become
familiar with the following topics in genetics: the physical
basis and the chemical basis of heredity, the laws of heredity
and variation, mitotic and meiotic cell division, and the
study of human diseases that are caused by genetic defects.
Prerequisite: BIOL1406 and 1407 or BIOL 2401 and 1402.
BIOL 2421 Microbiology for Science Majors
4 Hours (3-4)
The study of the morphology, physiology, and taxonomy
of representative groups of pathogenic and nonpathogenic
microorganisms. Pure cultures of microorganisms grown
on selected media are used in learning laboratory techniques.
