Biology 255 - Cell Biology & Genetics Laboratory

Institution:

Macalester College

Subject:

Description:

An intensive exploration of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell structure, chemistry, and function with an emphasis on laboratory methods, data analysis, and experimental design. Applying the same tools used to advance our understanding of modern cell biology and genetics, this lab requires students to become familiar with a mixture of biochemical, cytological, and genetic techniques as they develop testable hypothesis related to topics such as enzyme function, inheritance patterns, genome structure and gene expression, and cell-to-cell signaling. Prerequisite: co-enrollment in either Biology 260 (Genetics) or Biology 265 (Cell Biology). Every semester. (2 credits)
