Description
Genetics is a specific branch of science that discusses the basic and the fundamental components of human genes.
This course will cover the basics of hereditary both in a lecture setting as well as a laboratory setting. It will
concentrate on three areas of genetics: Mendelian (or transmission) genetics, molecular genetics, and
population/evolutionary genetics. The knowledge skills and insights that students gain from this course may be used
in their other academic endeavors, their chosen disciplines and their future careers as they compose and produce
relevant oral, written audio-visual and/or web-based output for various purposes.
