Genetics is a rapidly expanding scientific field
that delves into the physical and chemical aspects of genetic material,
exploring their connections to phenotypic expression and inheritance. This
course introduces students to two main branches of genetics: transmission
genetics (Mendelian genetics) and molecular genetics. Through this course,
students gain insights into the fundamental mechanics of heredity and
diversity. Topics include predicting genetic outcomes, the chemical foundation
of inheritance, mutations, gene characteristics, chromosome and DNA structure, DNA
replication, transcription into mRNA, translation into proteins, various
inheritance patterns, and interactive genetic relationships. The course also
encourages discussions and presentations on current genetic research. Learning
occurs both in-person and online through video lectures, readings, and
activities. Additionally, the laboratory component employs films, slides,
calculations, and written exercises to provide students with practical insights
into genetic research.
