Molecular Genetics

This unit will deal with the study of Genetics, one of the most rapidly expanding fields of biology today. It is designed to provide you with an understanding of current theory on the nature and mechanism of expression of genetic information in the cell. The point of view of this unit is one of Science, Technology and Society. It will examine the interrelationships among these three components and will look at issues raised by science as they affect the society in which you live. This unit will be following by a self-contained Biotechnology unit which apply many of the principles you will learn.
