Genetics

We’ll learn about genetic phenomena at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and population levels. Topics include: transmission of genes and chromosomes, mutation, structure and regulation of the expression of genes, genomics, genetic engineering, and evolutionary genetics. One laboratory session (mandatory) and several problem set solving sessions (optional) per week. Expected: BIOL 0200 (or equivalent placement). (Students should not plan to take BIOL 0470 after 1540 .)
