Current Course Description:
Structure and function of the gene. Study of genome structure and selected cases of the regulation of transcription and translation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Includes the complexity, stability and alterations of the genome in order to understand molecular evolution and the action of viruses. Two lectures and one four-hour lab.

New Course Description:
Structure and function of the gene. Study of genome structure and selected cases of the regulation of transcription and translation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Includes the complexity, stability and alterations of the genome in order to understand molecular evolution and the action of viruses. Two lectures and one four-hour lab. Prerequisites: BI 311, BI 312 and one year of chemistry or consent of instructor ¿ offered spring term of odd numbered years.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.):
This course, which requires Cell Biology as a prerequisite, will necessitate a catalog description modification in order to reflect the number change from Bi 313 to Bi 312 for Cell Biology.
Students/Program affected:
