BIO 2250 — Introductory Genetics
An examination of patterns of inheritance, gene structure and function and how it relates to biotechnology. Will include Mendelian inheritance, allelic relationships, genetic linkage, sex linkage, gene and chromosome structure and mutation, allele segregation and recombination, epistasis, and molecular genetics. The genetics of eukaryotes, prokaryotes and viruses will be examined as it pertains to transcription, translation, gene function, regulation of gene expression and bioinformatics. Practical applications of theory, gel electrophoresis, and PCR will be used in laboratory to enhance pertinent genetic principles. Not available for supplemental. Not eligible for Prior Learning Assessment.
