BIO 3010 - Genetics Lab

Prerequisite(s): BIO 2900; BIO 2910, (NOTE: this major-specific prerequisite is different from the prerequisite for Biomedical Engineering majors). Co-requisite(s): BIO 3000
In order to best prepare students majoring in life sciences within the College of Arts and Sciences, GENETICS LABORATORY creates a hands-on environment to expand understanding gained from the concurrent lecture course. Specifically, this wet-laboratory course creates a platform where students develop molecular and genetic techniques, including DNA extraction, restriction digests, bacterial cloning, plant genetics, polymerase chain reaction, and DNA analysis of model organisms. Species diversity dependent on genetic differences take a primary place in the learning objectives. Credit(s): 1
