BIOL 3423 - Human Heredity

Institution:

SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed as an introductory level genetics course for those students who have had a previous college course in the life sciences. However, salient points of cell structure and the reproduction of cells are reviewed as needed. Mathematics are held to a minimum, but some problem solving, utilizing elementary algebra is employed. Classical Mendelian genetics are used to introduce the student to the basic concepts of human inheritance. Once these are understood, current molecular genetic theories are presented. In all cases, emphasis is placed on human inheritance and particularily the inheritance of human metabolic disorders. Presentation of topics of medical, social, and ethical concerns are introduced to stimulate student thought and to provide a basis for classroom discussion.
