<p>Should i take Ap credit for Biology 214(genes and evolution) I got a 5 on the Ap test but didn't learn much, and take 215 in the spring and just take organic chemistry and physics my sophomore year. If I take Ap credit for a biology semester will that not count as a year of biology?
or should I just take 214 in the spring, and take 215 in the fall and 216 in the spring while taking Organic Chem 1&Lab& Physics 1 & Organic Chem 2&Lab&Physics 2.</p>
<p>BIOLOGY 214: GENES AND EVOLUTION
Rozek (Spring); (Summer)
Spring, Summer, 4 Credits
First in a series of three courses required of the biology major. Topics include: Biological molecules with a focus on DNA and RNA; Basics of cell structure with a focus on the nucleus and chromosomes; Cell cycle, mitosis, and meiosis; Molecular genetics, viruses, and gene technology; Classical and microbial genetics; Population genetics and evolution; Diversity resulting from evolution. Prerequisite: CHEM 105. Biology majors are encouraged to take this course in the spring of their freshman year. This course is recommended to partially fulfill biology requirements of medical and dental schools. Prereq: CHEM 105.
BIOLOGY 215: CELLS AND PROTEINS
Haywood
Fall, 4 Credits
Second in a series of three courses required of the Biology major. Topics include: biological molecules (focus on proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids); cell structure (focus on plasma membrane, endomembrane system and organelles of energy metabolism); protein synthesis, targeting and trafficking; protein structure-function, including binding of antibodies to antigens, enzymes to substrates, and oxygen to hemoglobin. Transduction of neural and hormonal signals; cellular controls involved in development, cell cycle, and cancer; cellular energetics, respiration and photosynthesis. Laboratory and discussion sessions offered in alternate weeks. Prereq: CHEM 105 and CHEM 106; or CHEM 111; or BIOL 214 and 214L or consent.
BIOLOGY 216: ORGANISMS AND ECOSYSTEMS
Haynesworth
Spring, 4 Credits
Third in a series of three courses required of the Biology major. Topics include: homeostasis, including endocrine and autonomic controls; function of neurons and nervous systems; function of organ systems involved in circulation, excretion, osmoregulation, gas exchange, feeding, digestion, and temperature regulation; reproduction and development; behavior, population dynamics, community ecology, and function of ecosystems. Laboratory and discussion sessions offered in alternate weeks. Prereq: CHEM 105 and BIOL 214 or consent.</p>
