BIOL 221 — General Biology II
This course will introduce students to topics in cellular and molecular biology. Students will learn about the structure and function of the life-essential macromolecules, the structure and physiology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, with a focus on the mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription and translation. Genetics will be explored, including the relationship between DNA sequences and the way organisms look and function. In the laboratory component, students will participate in inquiry-based research to explore principals of cellular and molecular biology. This course has a mandatory lecture and lab component.
