BIOL1460 Introduction to Human Genetics with BIOL1461 Lab For Non-Science Majors


This course is designed for non-science majors and will fulfill the general education requirement for all degree programs. The course introduces the basic principles of genetics from the perspective of the genetics of humans with an information content. Informational content provides the background knowledge required for a general understanding of Human Genetics, the tools that students must use to sharpen their skills in inquiry-based investigations, and the perspective for understanding the impact of genetics on individuals as well as the society they live. Topics include the inheritance of a single-gene and multi-gene traits, genetic diseases, genetic counseling, population genetics, and the social and ethical implications of recent genetic advances. In the lab component of this course students perform experiments and surveys to understand probability and gene inheritance by using model genetic


organisms. Three class hours per week. Two lab hours per week. Four semester hours credit. Lab fee required.
