Courses Often Taught by Jo Wu
Bio
101: General Biology
This integrated lecture-laboratory course
is an introductory non-majors course that will 1) emphasize the
fundamental understanding of basic biological principles, 2)
illustrate the structure and function of living organisms and
their relationship to the physical world, and 3) develop the
student's ability to make effective decisions regarding contemporary
issues in natural sciences. Lecture topics include 1) the structure
and function of life at the cellular and organismic levels, 2)
metabolism, photosynthesis and energetics, 3) cell division and
animal development 4) classical and molecular genetics, 5) biotechnical
development and applications, 6) evolution and adaptations of
living organisms, and 7) ecological relationships and environmental
conservation.
Non-majors course. 5 semester
units. Four hours lecture and three
hours laboratory per week.(UC/CSU) (Degree Credit)
Bio
109: Genetics and Biotechnology in Society
This introductory survey
course will cover the basic concepts of heredity and current
advances in biotechnology - such as cloning, recombinant DNA
technology, DNA fingerprinting and gene therapy. This course
will emphasize the applications, social consequences and ethical
implications of biotechnology in medicine and agriculture.
Non-majors course. 3 lecture
semester units. Online
section always and occasionally on-campus section. (Degree Credit) (CSU, UC)
Bio
272: Cellular and Molecular Biology
Prerequisite: BIOL
170 Organismal Biology and one semester of college chemistry
with a grade of "C" or better
Integrated lectures and laboratories are
designed to l) develop a strong foundation in biological facts,
concepts, and theoretical models, 2) extend the student's ability
to solve scientific problems through data collection and analysis,
and 3) provide training in a variety of laboratory techniques
and instrumentation used in modern biology. Discussion topics
which are supported by laboratory experiences include (a) the
molecular basis of life, (b) basic genetic mechanisms of DNA
replication, repair, transcription, translation, (c) regulation
of gene expression, (d) structural/functional organization of
the cell, (e) cell growth/division and development, and (f) immunology.
Designed for Biological Sciences majors in transfer programs. Three hours of lecture/discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. 4 semester units. (UC) (Degree credit)
Bio
276: Genetics and Evolution
Prerequisite:
CHEM 111A General Chemistry and either BIOL 170 Organismal Biology,
272 Cell and Molecular Biology or 274 General Ecology
This course is a comprehensive survey of
the processes and products of genetics. Through a review of experimental
evidence, students evaluate the basic tenets of molecular, transmission
and population genetics, and use the science of genetics to appraise
the relationship of genetics to the processes and products of
microevolution and macroevolution. The philosophy and methods
of science, as well as the theory of evolutionary thought are
integrated throughout.
Designed for Biological Sciences majors in transfer programs. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. 4 semester units. (CSU) (UC) (Degree credit)
Internship in Environmental Sciences
at Newport Bay is currently NOT available.
