Fall 2005 Meetings: Lecture 9 MWF and Lab 1:30 TH
Text: Required: Pierce, Genetics
McMillan, "Writing Papers in the Biological Sciences"
Articles and books on reserve in the library
Course Content: We will study genetics from an historical
approach
as far as is practical and then study a variety of developments of the
last 40 years or so. Areas include: classical, biochemical, and
molecular
genetics.
- The first section of the course will be based on an
historical
development
of concepts that are key to the field of genetics. Additionally, this
section
will help you improve your skills in problem solving, in critical
thinking
and in the analysis of experimental data.
- In later sections of the course, we'll concentrate on why
certain organisms
were chosen, how experimental designs were developed and how
technologies
advanced our knowledge into the area of molecular biology.
