• BIOL 3230: Developmental Biology

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  How do complex multicellular organisms, with their many specialized cell types precisely arranged, and with coordinated functions, arise from a single cell? This class addresses this question by examining the experimental evidence in both animal and plant systems. Topics focus on the cellular, molecular and genetic bases or morphogenesis and differential gene expression. Current controversies surrounding embryonic stem cells, therapeutic cloning, gene therapy, genetic profiling and environmental influences on development will be discussed to illustrate developmental principles. Enrollment in BIOL 3235, Developmental Biology Lab, is optional, but encouraged. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in BIOL 2030.

• BIOL 3270: Microbial Ecosystems

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  Microorganisms run the world. They are the foundation of every habitat on earth, from our bodies to the deep sea. The aim of this course is to train students to appreciate the fundamental microbial processes that are at the heart of many pressing medical and environmental issues today. The course is inherently interdisciplinary and will involve concepts in microbiology, genomics, ecology, evolution, and biogeochemistry. Students with any interest in medical, molecular, environmental, or evolutionary aspects of microbiology are welcome. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010).
