BIOL2038 — Genetics
BIOL 2038 - Genetics BIOL 2038 - Genetics Hours/Week: Lecture 3 Lab 1 Internship hours per week 0 Course Description: This intermediate-level biology course introduces and reinforces genetic principles for biology majors. This course covers the nature of genetic information at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and population level. Topics include gene expression, heredity, genetic variation, population genetics, and lab techniques unique to genetics. This course uses molecular biology and basic recombinant DNA technology to apply modern techniques of genetics, including gene mapping, cloning, genome manipulation, and mutation. Lab includes hands-on experience in the safe handling and manipulation of model organisms. Intended for biology and life sciences majors. This course is a part of the Minnesota Biology Transfer Pathway AS degree.
