FDR: SL Lab Science Distribution
Credits: 3

Prerequisite: BIOL 111, 113, and either sophomore or junior class standing. A study of the three main branches of modern genetics: 1) Mendelian genetics, the study of the transmission of traits from one generation to the next; 2) molecular genetics, a study of the chemical structure of genes and how they operate at the molecular level; and 3) population genetics, the study of the variation of genes between and within populations.
