Genetics Lab

Catalog description

Co-requisite(s): BIO 3000 In order to best prepare students majoring in life sciences within the College of Arts and Sciences, this course creates a hands-on environment to expand understanding gained from the concurrent lecture course. Specifically, this wet-laboratory course creates a platform where students develop molecular and genetic techniques, including DNA extraction, restriction digests, bacterial cloning, plant genetics, polymerase chain reaction, and DNA analysis of model organisms. Species diversity dependent on genetic differences take a primary place in the learning objectives.
