3.00 credits · Undergraduate

Prereq: BIOL 2811; or permission of the Department This course explores how the genetic program of cells interacts with the external and organismal environment to produce the phenotype of the organism. It explores our current understanding of how interactions between genes, gene identification, gene-environment interactions, gene regulation, and epigenetics allow normal development. Human, animal, and plant diseases provide examples of how these processes work and the consequences of disruption. (Format: Lecture 3 Hours) (Exclusion: Any version of BIOL 3661 previously offered with a different title)
