Genetics & Evolution.

Catalog description

This course presents an introduction to the principles and mechanisms of inheritance and evolution. It includes analyses of variability at the level of individuals and populations. Included are discussions on changes in chromosomes and how those changes move through generations. Variability in populations, the units of evolution, is examined, especially in light of how differences can lead to molecular evolution, speciation, extinction. Emphasis is on discussions of current and relevant topics and examples. Includes an interactive lab.
