Course description
The discipline of Genetics has pioneered the core concepts underlying many diverse fields of biology - ranging from medicine, biochemistry and microbiology to ecology, evolution and environmental sciences. BIOL2202 Genetics is therefore a recommended second level subject for all students pursuing a biology-focused major. Employing a strong experimental component, BIOL2202 integrates classical concepts of inheritance, development and variation with modern molecular advances arising from the post-genomic era.
