Mr. Levin 308. A lecture course on the chemical, physical and biological properties of nucleic acids, with emphasis on current topics related to the organization, replication, transcription, translation, regulation, and manipulation of genetic material. Mr. Luck 309. Identical to BIOL 308 but with the addition of one laboratory per week. Laboratories will emphasize techniques used in working with nucleic acids.
Considerable attention is given to the physiology of exercise.
Students are normally expected to conduct an individual program of aerobic exercise as part of the course. Topics include selection gene flow, mutation, and genetic drift, and other factors influencing the genetic structure of populations, and how competition, predation, and abiotic factors can determine the size and distribution of populations. Special attention will be given to how these subjects relate to another, and how they are fundamental to our understanding of evolution. Topics will be evaluated on both theoretical and applied approaches. Identical to ENVS 318.
