Course Aims
|
In this course, students will:
- explore the fundamental relationships between genes and traits in "living organisms"?? ranging from viruses to higher eukaryotes;
- develop an understanding of a range of basic genetic principles and their application to gene mapping in viruses and bacteria;
- explain the activities and functions of DNA;
- critically review and evaluate contemporary issues related to recent advances in applied genetics and recombinant DNA technology;
- This course builds on (and complements) knowledge covered in CHEM2003 (Biochemistry), and CHEM2013 (Microbiology); and underpins the more advanced concepts and applications that are covered in CHEM3017 (Molecular Biology) and final year project (CHEM4036).
