Description:
In this course, students will be introduced to mendelian and molecular genetics. With the
increase in the importance of genetic and biotechnology techniques in medicine, biomedical
research, and agriculture, understanding the structure and function of genes is nearly ubiquitous
in the sciences. General topics covered will be: cell division, meiosis, mendelian genetics,
inheritance, gene structure, gene expression, gene regulation, biotechnology, and population
genetics. The laboratory will be designed to reinforce lecture content; focusing on common
techniques in genetics and biotechnology and improving scientific communication skills.
