STARTS:
REQUISITES:	Prerequisite: BIO-107, BIO-120 and CHEM-111, CHEM-112 or CHEM-113, CHEM-114 minimum C Required Supporting Lab: BIO-220L

DESCRIPTION:
An introductory course exploring the mechanism of inheritance at the cellular and molecular levels. Topics include the chemical nature of DNA, DNA replication, gene expression, DNA repair, genomics, Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics. The laboratory will include several long-term investigations, many of which employ the use of the important model organism, Drosophila melanogaster. Experiments include genetic mapping of drosophila genes, population genetics, genome database searches/bioinformatics, and human genome analysis.
