Course Description
- GENETICS is the scientific study of HEREDITY. This one semester course will be an in depth study of the processes and methods that allow organisms to pass their traits on to their offspring.
- The course will begin with MITOSIS/MEIOSIS and PATTERNS OF HEREDITY, and the relationship between genes and the expression of traits.
- The course will continue with an in-depth exploration of CHROMOSOMES and associated disorders.
