Description:

This course is an exploration of the inner workings of eukaryotic cells. Students focus on structure-function relationships while examining organelles, cell physiology, intracellular communication, and the flow of information from DNA to protein (replication, transcription, and translation). Principles of classical genetics, molecular genetics, and the regulation of gene expression are considered. The laboratory emphasizes diagnostic and forensic applications of modern cell biological and genetic analysis. This course is intended for nonscience majors and is not open to biology majors. Premedical students (regardless of major) should enroll in BIOL 261. Prerequisites: BIOL 121, 122, and CHEM 101, 102. 3 hours lecture. 3 hours laboratory. 4 semester hours
