Genetics+and+BioEngineering

201: Genetics and Bioengineering
==This course continues the exploration of biology begun in the Cells course. Topics addressed include genetics and evolution. The range of exploration spans content from classical Mendelian genetics through the results of the Human Genome Project. Evolution Theory addresses natural selection and examines evidence in support of the theory.==
