This course is an advanced upper level course design for Biology and Biology Pre-Med majors with a special interest in studying Genetic diseases, mechanisms of inheritance, physiological effects, and phenotypic absnormalities. For this particular course, knowledge of transmission genetics and basic molecular biology is required as knowledge of cellular pathways and basic inheritance patterms and pedigrees will be discussed. This course will incude current research and methodologies in Genetics and Genetically inhirited disorders. Case studies will serve as an application of knowledge studied in each section. In addition, various laboratory techniques will be usded to aid in the learning process. Part of the time will also include examining case studies and discussing relevant ethical issues.

Prerequisites: BIOL3370, BIOL3375, BIOL3470 and BIOL3475 Co-Requisite: BIOL4225
