(May be repeated for credit.) Fall, Spring. The frontiers of biology.
Critical examination of developments  in the various specialties
represented by the members of the department. Currently, advanced work
in the  following and related fields can be offered: molecular genetics;
structure and biosynthesis of biologically  significant molecules; the
nature of biological specificity and enzyme catalysis; the fine
structure and  chemistry of subcellular particles, cells, and tissues;
microbial and plant metabolism; comparative  biochemistry; genetics and
physiology of viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths, and cells
of higher  forms of life; the genetics, structure, development, and
physiology of plants and animals, including  endocrinology and work
physiology; excitable membranes; neurobiology, ecology, systematics, and
evolution  of microorganisms, plants and animals; host-parasite
relationships including immunology; and the teaching  of biology. The
field in which work is offered will be indicated in the student's
record.
