Molecular Biology ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

The aim of this course is to understand the key concepts of the central dogma of molecular biology, including organization of genomes and mechanisms of replication, repair and recombination processes, transcription, RNA processing, translation, and the regulatory mechanisms that control all aforementioned processes. Students will also gain a basic understanding of experimental techniques that have shaped our understanding of these concepts through the use of digital lab simulations and case studies. Prerequisites: Biology I with Lab ( BIOL 1200 ) and Biology II with Lab ( BIOL 1201 ) and Chemistry I with Lab ( CHEM 1205 ) and Chemistry II with Lab ( CHEM 1206 ) or equivalents.
