  • BIO 263: Genetics

    4.00 Credits
    Cabrini University - Closed

    This course introduces students to the principles of Mendelian and molecular genetics including chromosomal mechanics and karyotypic analysis and mutagenesis. Gene function and replication are explored in detail. Students work in small groups and complete a research project focused on genetically-based human disease that culminates in the presentation of their research to the class in a mini-lecture at the end of the semester and preparation of a poster that is presented at Cabrini's annual Arts, Research and Scholarship Symposium. In the laboratory students develop techniques involving cell fractionation, DNA isolation, karyotyping, DNA fingerprinting using PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis, analysis of nucleosome structure and the study of mitosis and meiosis using representative plant and animal species. Statistical methodology is also introduced. Prerequisite: BIO 102, earning a 'C-' or higher. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Lab fee. Offered fall. 4 credits
