Basic principles of genetics and modern developments in the field, with their theoretical and practical implications: the inheritance, structure, and mode of action of the genetic material in microorganisms, plants and animals, including man. Laboratory work consists of preparation and examination of chromosome material and experiments with segregating characters in a variety of organisms.Prerequisite: BIO 166 and BIO 167.

This course provides a brief review genetics and emphases current topics of molecular, population and quantitative genetics. The laboratory exercises employ a variety of model organism, such as corn, flies, bacteria and mold. Classic experiments as well as modern molecular techniques including DNA isolation, PCR amplification and bacterial transformation will be performed.

Genetics is designed as a one-semester course covering the fundamental concepts of classical, molecular, and human genetics. The student gains a background that facilitates a greater understanding of recent advances in molecular biology and human inheritance.Note: This course satisfies Pathways Life and Physical Science and Scientific World areas.

A study of the mechanics and molecular basis of inheritance. The lectures will cover patterns of inheritance, structure and function of nucleic acids, recombinant DNA, bacterial genetics, and population genetics. Laboratory exercises will include studying patterns of inheritance with Drosophila melanogaster and techniques related to recombinant DNA work. Required of Biology majors.

This course focuses on topics from Mendelian, molecular and population genetics; including concepts of inheritance, history of genetics, molecular genetics using the DNA organization, chromosome structure, genes, alleles and the transmission of genetic information, and the use of genetic techniques in ecological/conservation programs. Laboratory work includes experiments in Mendelian genetics using plants and animals and the study of chromosome material in bacteria.

This course provides the fundamental principles of gene structure and function. Current concepts in recombinant DNA technology, bioinformatics and genetics are elaborated.

For Biology majors, this course examines transmission of the genetic material, molecular genetics and the genetics of population. Topics considered in both lecture and laboratory include: quantitative analyses of eukaryotic linkage; extranuclear inheritance; mutation studies; cytogenetical chromosomes studies; gene amplification; DNA extraction; DNA fingerprinting; protein gel electrophoresis; and transformation of prokaryotic genetic material by viral vectors. Techniques developed and utilized in the Human Genome Project and genetic engineering are emphasized. Research papers and in-class presentations are required. This course does satisfy the Biology major elective requirement

This course covers the basic principles of genetics with emphasis on the classical principles of inheritance. Mendel's Laws of Heredity, molecular genetics and population genetics, the cell and cell division, gene and genetic material, chromosome changes and mutation. The objective of the course is the explanation of the basic principles of inheritance as well as the application of genetic principles in the improvement of plants and animals. It will aim at enabling students to: a. Identify the hereditary material and the nature of its chemical and structural properties.b. Study the organization of the genes into chromosomes and the transmission of the chromosomes from parents to progeny either by sexual or asexual reproduction.c. Attempt the analysis of the interactions of the different genes and the environment to produce the characteristics of the individual.d. Study the different types of genetic diversity that can occur and the consequences of this diversity to the individual and to the population.Students taking this course for the first time are required to take the lecture and the corresponding lab course concurrently. If the lab or lecture component of the course has been successfully completed previously with a passing and transferable grade or better, then the corresponding lab or lecture course that was not successfully completed previously may be retaken separately.

This course is recommended for students who wish to pursue a degree in the biological sciences and/or professional school (ie. medical school, pharmacy school). Students who take this course will gain an understanding of the principles of heredity, including gene transmission, mutation, recombination and function. The course will use current issues in genetics research to explore ethical issues related to the use of genetics in modern medicine.

Introduction to fundamental concepts in classical and molecular genetics. Course topics provide a broad overview of relevant fields including Mendelian Inheritance, viral and bacterial genetics, molecular structure of genes, transcription and translation, genetic analysis, cancer genetics, and population and quantitative genetics. Laboratories complement lectures by providing a hands-on, inquiry- based approach to research questions in genetics through utilization of both wet-lab and computational methodologies.

Genetics will cover molecular genetic principles and concepts in depth, including how genetic information can be manipulated to understand its function. An emphasis will be placed on new genetic tools and model organisms, and the genetic of diseases and traits in the human population. It will mainly consist of lectures and integrated laboratory exercises, which will use transgenic model organisms.
