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 (will be taught by Cal Young)
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.
