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.
