A survey of genetics which blends classical concepts (Mendelian and population genetics) with modern biochemical and molecular explanations. The course emphasizes gene expression and regulation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, non- Mendelian inheritance, and the ethical aspects of genetic engineering. Laboratory work provides opportunities to use classical genetics as well as biochemical and molecular techniques. (4 credit hours)
