Abstract
Course goals and abjectives:
Goal #1. Students will acquire an understanding of the laws of genetics as applied, in
particular, to human beings.
Objective /a. Students will demonstrate knowledge of Mendelian genetics, based on the
cellular principles of mitosis and meiosis; attention will also be directed to stem cells,
cancer, and cloning
Objective 2a: Students will be able to extend the principles of Mendelian genetics and
to understand the rationales for the exceptions to those principles.
Objective Ja: Students will be exposed to multifactorial polygenic traits, linked genes,
non-Mendelian genetics (e.9., imprinting; mitochondrial inheritance), and behavioral
genetics
Objective 4a: Students will develop an understanding ofthe progression &om rnolecular
to cellular to organismal inheritance of traits
Objective 5a: Students will be able to predict the outconres of genetic crosses
Go*l#Z: Students will acquire an understanding of autosomes and of sex chromosomes and of
chromosomal abnormalities, both chromosomal structural aberrations ctranges in
chromosorne numbers
Objective 2a: Students will develop an understanding of X- and Y-linked traits and of
sex determination.
Objective 2b: Concepts of genic imbalance, congenital abnonnalities, spontaneous
abortion, and cancer induction will be discussed
Goal #3: Students will acquire knowledge of chromosomal structure and replication
Objective 3a: Chromosomal hierarchy, as related to degrees of condensation, and DNA
complexity will be presented.
Objective 36: Students will explore the dynamics of chromosomal replication, including
the functioning of telomer€l$e as related to normal and cancerous cells
Goal #4: The principles of genetics as applied to biotechnology will be presented.
Objective 4a: Students will develop anunderstanding of biotechnological techniques
based on their understandiugs of basic principles of genetics - DNA fingerprinting,
PCR, DNA sequencing, DNA analyses of disease, molecular cloning, etc.
