• BIO 172: ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II

  4.00 Credits

  Westmoreland County Community College

  
  This is a continuation of Human Anatomy and Physiology I. Students will continue to explore the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within the body. Topics include the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Also discussed will be interactions between systems as well as selected diseases and disorders and their relationship to typical anatomy and physiology. Prerequisites(s): BIO 171 with a "C"grade or better. Prerequisite:    BIO 171 (With a Grade of C or Better)

• BIO 255: MAKE SENSE CLASSICAL GENETICS

  4.00 Credits

  Westmoreland County Community College

  
  Classical genetics is the foundation on which all other genetics courses rest. It is concerned primarily with the ways that genetic traits are passed through generations in plants and animals. Traits may be dominant, recessive, intermediate, polygenic, sex-linked, or autosomal, and each will be explained in the course. Today, a prime reason for performing classical genetics is for gene discovery-the finding and assembling a set of genes that affects a biological property of interest. In addition, the inheritance of chromosomes, how they produce a functional protein, and how we can use DNA to manipulate these traits will be covered. Finally, the course of traits in entire poplulations will be analyzed, allowing students to predict the futures of endangered species, and perhaps even humans themselves.

• BIO 285: MOLECULAR GENETICS

  4.00 Credits

  Westmoreland County Community College

  
  Although the course begins with an introduction to heredity and classical Mendelian genetics, this material will emphasize current ideas in molecular biology including the transfer and expression of genetic information, the interaction and hybridization of genes, and molecular mutagens. The course will focus on the transmission and expression of genetic information, predominantly through eukaryotic molecular genetics. Prokaryotic molecular genetics and the variations from the eukaryotic model will also be discussed. The structure and function of the genetic material at the molecular level, replication and repair of the genetic material, and the regulation and expression of genetic information will be considered. Pre-requisite(s): BIO 110, BIO 155, BIO 171 or BIO 210
