Course description
This course is specifically designed for students enrolled in the BAdvSc(Hons) majoring biology. 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 integrates classical concepts of inheritance, development and variation with modern molecular advances arising from the post-genomic era. BIOL2902 Advanced Genetics builds on this core curriculum with additional advanced content delivered in the form of a deeper practical experience focusing on the generation of publishable data, enhancing understanding of fundamental genetics concepts while providing a more coherent foundation for third year biology, biochemistry and molecular biology courses.
