Laboratory exercises in molecular and Mendelian genetics. Labs will include DNA isolation, amplification, and characterization, introductions to computer DNA analysis and genomics, and an extended project in Mendelian genetics, involving phenotypic observation and segregation analysis. One three-hour laboratory per week. Prior completion of Biology 205 is recommended, but not required; this lab can be taken after completion of Biology 205 or along with it. Biology 206 cannot count as elective credit for the BBMB major.
Prerequisite or Corequisite
Biology 205 (recommended, but not required, to complete 205 before 206).
