Molecular and Evolutionary Genetics

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to fundamental principles concerning the molecular nature of DNA and chromosomes; the molecular processes of replication, transcription, transition, and mutation/repair; the transmission of genetic traits (Mendelian and non-Mendelian modes); and the application of genetic analysis to population and evolutionary biology. EBIO 2070 includes a required, no credit recitation ( EBIO 2071 ). EBIO 2070 Molecular and Evolutionary is mutually exclusive with Genetics Cell 2050 Genetics. Students may receive credit for only one of CELL 2050 or EBIO 2070 in the undergraduate degree.
