BIO 302 Genetics
Genetics is the study of how physical traits are inherited, the chemical structures that influence those traits, and how genes and genomes are shaped by selection pressures. Genetics is increasingly important in all biological fields. This course provides an introductory overview of major and timely topics in genetics. Students will learn how physical and physiological traits are determined and passed to the next generation. Additionally, students will study DNA as the genetic material of all organisms, and how changes in the DNA sequence result in variation within populations of species, ultimately leading to evolutionary change. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Fee: $75.00.
