Description
Class Experience
This is an introductory genetics course aimed at high school students who are interested in studying biology. Students will get some background on the history of the field and will learn about basic concepts such as Genes and Cell Division, Mendelian and Non-Mendelian Inheritance, Human Pedigrees, Chromosomal Patterns of Inheritance and basic molecular genetics, such as DNA replication, Transcription and translation. If time permits we will also discuss some methods in molecular genetics. I...
After taking Introduction to Genetics, learners will be able to: -Describe the processes and functions of mitosis and meiosis -Apply the principles of Mendelian inheritance. -Analyze human pedigree charts and identify the mode of inheritance. -Explain gene linkage and linkage maps -Understand some basic principles of molecular genetics
I have a doctorate in Parasite Genetics from McGill University, Canada. I am a former researcher and have published several papers on the genetics of drug resistance and disease susceptibility. I have taught genetics and other topics in biology in university.
There will be voluntary homework assignments.
I will not give a grade for this class, unless specifically requested by the learner or parent.
4 hours 10 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
