BIOL 430 - Molecular Biology

(3 S.H.)

This course provides an in depth investigation of the different molecules essential for proper cellular function. An emphasis will be placed on following the specific molecules and mechanisms involved in gene expression in how they relate to to development and human disease. DNA, RNA and protein structure will be examined and as well as their roles in genome organization and gene expression. Experimental techniques used in Molecular Biology Labs as well as in Biotechnology will also be covered. Prerequisites:

BIOL 241 - Basics of Life

, △ BIOL 308 - Cell Biology, ◆ BIOL 310 - Genetics, and either CHEM 340 - Organic Chemistry Survey or

BIOL 350 - Plant Taxonomy

. Grade only. Offered each semester
