This course covers general genetic principles and topics specific to human genetics. Topics will include the basic features of DNA replication and gene expression, and the passage of genetic material to daughter cells (cell division). Classic Mendelian inheritance, family pedigrees, and non-Mendelian inheritance are studied by solving problems applying the principles of genetics. The effects of mutation and recombination on human inheritance will be discussed. Molecular genetics topics will include DNA and gene analysis and transfer techniques, gene therapy, genetic cloning, and the Human Genome Project. Labs are experimental and descriptive. It is recommended that MTH-1501 Statistics I be taken prior to enrolling in BIO-3100 but it is not required.
