BIOLOGY 201 - Eukaryotic Genetics

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

The course takes a modern approach to the study of genetics in which classical ideas about genotype, phenotype, and inheritance are integrated into the modern molecular and genomic understanding of the processes involved in the generation of diversity. In addition to discussions of the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication, recombination, the generation and repair of mutations, and the relationship between genotype and phenotype, special consideration is given to understanding the processes involved in generating population-level variation in complex traits and how this understanding can help identify the myriad genetic and nongenetic factors influencing these traits. The laboratory consists of a semesterlong project involving the genetic manipulation of a model organism's genome to address one or more topics in the course. Prerequisite: one year of college biology.
