College of Science Courses Course Descriptions - ZOOL Department of Zoology ZOOL 1010 LS - Animal Biology Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem, Online] Spring [Full Sem, Online] Summer [Online] A non-major's introduction to cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and animal diversity with emphasis on diversity of animal architecture and life strategies in relation to the diverse environments of Earth. The overriding theme is the process of evolution, its basis, and its implications for all animals, including humans. Three lecture/discussion hours a week. ZOOL 1020 LS - Human Biology Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem, Online] Spring [Full Sem, Online] Summer [Online] Survey course for non-science majors. Course content includes basic structure and function of the human body, homeostasis, heredity, human evolution, and ecology. Implications for personal health, bio ethical and environmental issues and the impact of each of these on society will be examined. Three lecture/discussion hours a week. ZOOL 1030 LS - The Nature of Sex Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Online] Spring [Online] Summer [Online] This course will present an overview of sexual reproduction in animals, including humans. It provides evolutionary, ecological, and behavioral perspectives on sex. Topics cover the value of sex for generating variation among individuals, breeding patterns in nonsocial and social species, mating systems such as monogamy and polygamy, and reproductive behavior. The relevance of this material to human reproduction is addressed. ZOOL 1110 - Principles of Zoology I Credits: (4) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Summer [Full Sem] A major's introduction to the study of genetics, inheritance, and evolutionary processes. In addition, the diversity and comparative biology of non-vertebrate animals will be examined. Three hours of lecture and one 2-hour lab a week. ZOOL 1120 - Principles of Zoology II Credits: (4) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] A major's introduction to cellular processes and the diversity and comparative biology of vertebrate animals. Three hours of lecture and one 2-hour lab a week. Prerequisite: ZOOL 1110 or permission of instructor. ZOOL 1370 LS - Principles of Life Science Credits: (3) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] A survey course recommended for elementary education majors. Course content includes cells, cell chemistry, genetics, plant and animal anatomy, plant and animal classification, physiology, immune systems, evolution, and ecology. Unifying concepts of all living things will be emphasized. Two lecture hours and one 3-hour lab a week. Cross-listed with BTNY 1370 and MICR 1370. Weber State University 2013-2014 Catalog
