| Course description |
| This course will provide experimental/practical training in the field of biology. Students will acquire knowledge on intracellular, ontogenetic and population-based study by using microorganisms, plants and animals. They also learn how to illustrate organisms by hand, how to observe organisms by microscpoe, and how to treat raw data for the subsequent analyses. |
| Expected Learning |
|
To understand and to learn how to observe microorganisms, plants and animals. Please also refer to ouf curriculum summary from our web (in Japanese). https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ |
| Course schedule |
|
This course will consist of following part. 1. Introduction: Students will learn what they should prepare for the experiments. 2. Observation of plant cells: Students will learn how to use a microscope and how to illustrate what they see by sketching. 3.Observation of chromosome of plants: Prepare chromosome sample by flattening out the meristem cells derived from plant root, and by smearing method for the salivary glands of chironomid, and compare visible characteristics of plants and animal chromosome. 4. Dissection of mice: Students will learn an anatomical struscture of animals. 5. Observation of microorganisms in a pond: Students learn what kinds of microorganisms are found in aquatic ecosystems. 6. Observation of external structure of arthropods: Studies on insects, especially bees, in both macroscopic and microscopic manners with sketching. 7 and 8. Experiments on human genomes: Students extract their own genomic DNAs and analyse genetic polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogenase. |
