Biology 225An illustration of DNA.

Genetics

  • Course ID: BIOL 225
  • Subject: Biological Sciences

The course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the principles of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics. Emphasis is placed on the molecular basis of heredity, chromosome structure, patterns of Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance, and the genetics of human disease. In this course, students will demonstrate an understanding of the patterns of inheritance by analyzing how DNA, RNA, and proteins affect the genotype and phenotype of an organism. Students will apply this knowledge, along with their understanding of classic inheritance patterns, to a range of human genetic disorders.

For successful completion of this course, it is recommended that students are familiar with Biology I and Biology II or their equivalents.
