(Applicable only to targeted subjects for undergraduate students) Biology
（Abilities and Skills）
・Based on basic knowledge which is already acquired, to obtain the following experimental skills in order to practice research: 1) Basic observation skills and skills to manage experiments. 2) Ability to record observed natural phenomena. 3) Ability to collect and assess data.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline Students will learn experimental procedures for developmental biology, plant physiology, animal physiology, plant systematics and cell biology as the basis of the study of biological sciences.

Class Schedule 1. General guidance

2-6. Developmental biology
(1) Observation of early development of echinoderm
(2) Observation of early development of amphibian
(3) Analysis of expression patterns of morphogenetic genes during development

7-11. Plant physiology
(1) Control of germination by several plant hormones
(2) Transient assay using protoplast of Arabidopsis cultured cell
(3) The effect of plant hormone to plant growth and development
(4) Feedback regulation of plant hormone

12-16. Molecular biology
(1) Guidance for the experimental schedule, preparation of media and reagents, and construction of a recombinant plasmid
(2) Transformation of E. coli cells by introduction of the recombinant plasmid
(3) Analysis of the recombinant plasmid (1)
(4) Analysis of the recombinant plasmid (2)
(5) Expression analysis of a gene in the recombinant plasmid, Discussion

17-21. Plant  Phylogenetics

(2) Charophycean algae
(3) Bryophytes
(4) Ferns and fern allies
(5) Seed plants

22-26. Animal Phylogenetics
(1) DNA extraction from animal tissue and PCR
(2) Purification of PCR product
(3) DNA sequencing
(4) Phylogenetic tree reconstruction based on molecular data -1
(5) Phylogenetic tree reconstruction based on molecular data -2

27-30. Neuroscience and Behavior genetics

Text/Reference
Books,etc. Textbook for "Practice for Fundamental Biology"
Some reference materials may be distributed for each experiment.

PC or AV used in
Class,etc. 　

(More Details) Textbook, PC, research equipments

Learning techniques to be incorporated 　

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Textbook for "Practice for Fundamental Biology" should be read before and after each experiment.
Report of each experiment should be prepared immediately after experiment.
Each report should include (1) purpose, (2) experimental procedures, (3) results and (4) discussions.

Requirements Students have to attend all experiments and any truancy is not allowed.

Grading Method The grade will be evaluated by reports (80%) and attitude (20%).

Practical Experience

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it

Message Because each experiment may involve the use of hazardous materials, students need to pay enough attention to the experimental procedures.

Other

Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
