Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces)
Molecular Biology

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. Prerequisites: BI 311, BI 313 and one year of chemistry or consent of instructor ¿ offered spring term of odd numbered years.

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 314, BI 315 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.):
The description for this course, which requires Introductory Genetics and Cell Biology as prerequisites, will have the course numbers changed from Bi 311 to Bi 314 and from Bi 313 to Bi 315, respectively, in order to reflect the new numbers for these courses.
Students/Program affected:
Biology ¿ General and Molecular / Cell Emphases; Biology Teacher Education Degree
