Course Description:
This course will explore inherited traits, connecting the gene causing a trait with the manifestation of the traits. Characteristics covered will include coat colors of calico cats and Labrador retrievers, inherited human diseases such as Huntington's Disease and Cystic Fibrosis, and common human traits such as curly hair, color-blindness and lactose tolerance. The course will begin with an introduction to basic Mendelian genetics and gene structure, and will include readings, lectures and discussions. Students will have a chance to research a genetic trait and share their findings with the class. This course is not creditable to the Biology major. |
