BIO-2040 - Principles of Genetics* (S) (3)

Prerequisite: BIO-1020 ; BIO-1020L or BIO-1060 ; BIO-1060L or biology placement; plus MTH-0992 or MTH-0950 or higher
Students study the principles of classical genetics and the molecular basis of inheritance in terms of structure, function and changes in genetic material in viruses, bacteria and higher organisms; transmission and expression of genetic material; extra genetic control of metabolism, recombinant DNA and bioengineering. Students solve real and simulated problems using principles of inheritance. This is a web based course, allowing students a maximum of interaction and access to resources. This course satisfies the General Education Biological Science requirement.
