General introduction to the fundamental principles of genetics in eukaryotes and bacteria. Topics include: gene transmission, linkage, recombination, structure, mutations, and manipulation, as well as analysis of genomes in individuals and populations.
Outcome 1: Describe basic principles of inheritance, gene expression, and genomic structure in the context of biological evolution.
Outcome 2: Think analytically and creatively about the applications of basic principles of inheritance and gene expression to interpretations of naturally occurring and experimental biological phenomena.
Outcome 3: Know how genetics provides an experimental approach that can be used to investigate almost any aspect of biology.
Outcome 4: Develop an appreciation that genetics is important to future progress in medical sciences.
Outcome 5: Develop problem solving skills employing logical thought.
Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will receive credit for only one course in the following group: BIOMG 2800, ENVS 2830, NTRES 2830. Biological sciences majors must take course for a letter grade.
