    Description
    54 hours lecture and 54 hours lab per term. This course is a comprehensive survey of the processes and products of genetics. Through a review of experimental evidence, students evaluate the basic tenets of molecular, transmission and population genetics, and use the science of genetics to appraise the relationship of genetics to the processes and products of microevolution and macroevolution. Lab topics include DNA replication/repair, transcription and translation and regulation of gene expression. The philosophy and methods of science, as well as the theory of evolutionary thought are integrated throughout. Field trips may be required outside regularly-scheduled class times.
