Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(25)
This is an advanced genetics course covering a variety of topics. We will end this course using all the theoretical science we covered in this class with a practical lab using house cats as a practical example.

This is advanced genetics. This is intended to be part of a series. While you do not need to take the series from me you will need an idea of the material in these other classes. It is just harder to just slide into it half way through. A lot of people might think you just jump to a higher classes it will be easier. When the classes get harder the previous learning is a necessary step to later learning. Vocabulary, background, and previous steps are necessary. - The first class is...

Learn a lot of genetics terms and be able to apply them to an organism.
Homework Offered
For the first six weeks I hill be handing out a reading and some question that I would like answered and sent back to guide our discussion. The goal is for all students to understand the material presented and be able to use it in the cat lab.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The assessment will be assigned to all students as a way to test if they have an understanding of the reading, clear up any misconceptions, and be able to move ahead.Grades Offered
This is not their first science course. They will need 1) an understanding of what is DNA and a Ribosome is/stands for and basically what it does. 2) an understanding of what a Punnette square is and what it is for.
I will be talking about sex as as noun. It is a thing that offers genetic variation and the blending of two genomes (parents). This should answers why children are not genetic clones of one parent. Sex as a verb or an act will not be covered in this class.
I will be providing section of a biology text, or a directed internet search with links to specific materials.
