| Course Memo |
| This is an upper-level course for students concentrating in natural sciences. It addresses the processes by which traits are inherited and DNA changes over time. The historical development of the field, molecular structures, genetic evolution, applied plant and animal genetics, and modern advances in biotechnology and gene manipulation are studied. Contemporary issues such as genetic diseases, the effect of environmental changes on mutation rate, and social consequences of genetic engineering will be discussed. The laboratory portion of this course affords students practical experiences concerning topics covered in the classroom. Students are required to review current literature on specific topics. (Prerequisites: BIO 100 and BIO 102 and BIO 110 and BIO 112) |
