Course Catalog Description:
Genetic information, its transmission from parents to offspring, its expression in cells/organisms, and its course in populations. prereq: Biol 3020 or Biol 3025 or Biol 3015 or BioC 3021 or BioC 4331 or grad MSB
Class Notes:
The BIOL 3025 prerequisite will be waived if you have taken an upper level biochemistry course. Any majors may register as long as you have the prerequisites. This course section is fully online. All work and tests are completed online. Students need stable internet access, a computer, a microphone, and a webcam that allow all exams to be remotely proctored with video and audio recording. Students are welcome to meet with the instructor in person during weekly office hours (or at other times) in order to ask questions or discuss course material.
Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. You work independently, not as part of a student group. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policy, fee, and financial aid information. This course is intended to provide you with a broad understanding of genetics. In the first part of the course you will explore the structure, replication, and expression of the genetic material known as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). As you examine DNA, you will gain an understanding of the molecular structure of DNA and its organization into units called genes. The next part of the course emphasizes inheritance patterns. In it, you will examine many types of inheritance patterns, including simple Mendelian inheritance, extra-chromosomal inheritance, linkage, and the quantitative traits that are determined by multiple genes. The last part of the course examines the genetic technologies that are used to analyze the genetic compositions of species and have applications in our everyday lives. This course ends with a consideration of genetics at the level of populations, and how the genetic compositions of populations evolve over time.
