【Course Objectives】

The genetic material possessed by living things is passed on via mitosis and reproduction. This course aims to teach students about these processes on the molecular level.

【Course Contents】

Building on the material taught in Introduction to Biology and Introduction to Life Science in the spring semester, students will learn exactly how genes in the form of DNA are passed from parent to child. First, the lecture will review why DNA molecules alone are sufficient as a means of storing genetic information. Next, students will learn about DNA replication and repair, along with cellular reproduction and cell death. Particular attention will be given to the proteins and cytoskeletons that regulate these processes. Furthermore, Mendel’s Laws of Heredity will be discussed along with the principles behind them. The lecture will also cover how living things reproduce as well as how organisms cope with reproduction. In addition, inheritance of organelles that does not follow Mendel's Laws will be introduced.
