BIO 285 - Molecular Genetics

Institution:

Westmoreland County Community College

Subject:

Biology

Description:

Although the course begins with an introduction to heredity and classical Mendelian genetics, this material will emphasize current ideas in molecular biology including the transfer and expression of genetic information, the interaction and hybridization of genes, and molecular mutagens. The course will focus on the transmission and expression of genetic information, predominantly through eukaryotic molecular genetics. Prokaryotic molecular genetics and the variations from the eukaryotic model will also be discussed. The structure and function of the genetic material at the molecular level, replication and repair of the genetic material, and the regulation and expression of genetic information will be considered.
