BIO 421 - Molecular Cell Biology

Institution:

Gallaudet University

Subject:

Description:

An in-depth study of cellular structure and organization and the biochemical functioning of the cell. Modern cell biology weaves three areas into one. The three areas are: cytology, which is concerned with cellular structure; biochemis try, which helps in understanding the techniques for the separation of cellular components and the life processes in cells at the molecular level; and genetics, which emphasizes the molecular structure of genes and how the genetic code controls expression through transcription of mRNA and translation into protein structure and function. Topics will include similarities and differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes; the composition, function, and synthesis of biomacromolecules; storage and retrieval of genetic information; gene activity; cellular differentiation, intercellular commucation; and mutation. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 75
