This course for non-science majors aims to explore our current understanding of the principles of genetics as applied to the human genome. The human genome has been fully sequenced and individuals are now choosing elective surgery based on knowledge of their genetic make-up. Students will be exposed to current ideas of the connection between our genes, health and illnesses and to the similarities and differences in genomes and gene expression among individuals and populations.Weekly Contact:Lecture 3 hrs.GPA Weight:1.00Billing Units:1Count:1.00Liberal Studies:LLCustom Requisites:Not available to Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science, Biology (all options), Biomedical Sciences (all options), Chemistry (all options), nor Medical Physics (all options).
