BIOL-201 Genetics
Following successful completion of Biology 201, students will be able to describe the principles of inheritance in terms of the structure and function of genetic material in viruses, bacteria, and higher organisms; the transmission and expression of genetic information; sex determination and sex chromosomes; extrachromosomal inheritance; gene mutation; recombination and regulation; genetic control of metabolism, development, and behavior; and recombinant DNA techniques. Students will also utilize the principles of inheritance to solve real and simulated problems in human genetic counseling and in plant and animal breeding. For genetics lab, see BIOL-202.
