1.00 Credits
A semester-long laboratory course dealing with investigation and analysis in genetics. Laboratory sessions will include genetic crosses of plants and animals and the subsequent analysis to determine linkage and gene mapping location. Computer exercises will also be used to establish genetic tools for modern molecular analysis. Four hours laboratory. (W).
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of the fungi. Classification, structure, industrial use, gastronomic qualities, and disease-producing ability of macroscopic and microscopic forms are studied. Laboratories include microscopic and macroscopic examinations of fungi and their growth and field studies on the occurrence and classification of edible and poisonous varieties. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (OC).
