BIOL 201 Genetics
Upon completion of this course, the student will
understand and be able to articulate relationships between essential concepts
in genetics. This course focuses on molecular and transmission (classical)
genetics, including the structure and function of DNA, RNA and proteins,
recombinant DNA technology, and normal and variant patterns of inheritance in
viruses, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. Students completing this course will be
able to apply this knowledge to solve standard problems in genetics and to
analyze and synthesize diverse genetic concepts to solve advanced problems and
to address social, legal, and ethical issues raised by recent genetic
discoveries. For Genetics Laboratory, see BIOL 202.
