BIOL 255 - Cell Biology and Genetics Laboratory Methods

An intensive exploration of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell structure, chemistry, and function with an emphasis on laboratory methods, data analysis, and experimental design. Using the same tools used to advance our understanding of modern cell biology and genetics, this lab requires students to become familiar with a mixture of biochemical, cytological, and genetic techniques as they develop testable hypothesis related to topics such as enzyme function, inheritance patterns, genome structure and gene expression, and cell-to-cell signaling. One three-hour laboratory each week. Corequisite(s): BIOL 200 - Cell Biology Offered for the last time in 2020. (2 Credits)
