BIO 82 — GENETICS
This lecture/lab course is a comprehensive survey of genetics. 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. Topics include molecular aspects of DNA replication and gene expression including RNA and protein biosynthesis; genetic code and organization of genome; regulation of expression of genetic information; cell division; genetic recombination and mutation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; and biochemical evolution as it relates to microevolution and macroevolution. BIO 82 was formerly offered as BIO 97 and BIO 97L.
