BIOL 1101U – Chromosomal and Molecular Basis of Inheritance

This course module will be offered to graduates from a three-year Biotechnology Technologist Ontario college diploma program who have been accepted into the bridge semester leading to the degree completion pathway to a BSc (Honours) in Biological Science, Complementary Studies specialization. The module will cover topics on inheritance that are absent from the learning outcomes of the Biotechnology Technologist diploma program. The module will begin with a review of mitosis and meiosis and will be followed by study of the principles of Mendelian genetics, the analysis of more complex inheritance patterns including sex-linked inheritance, genetic recombination and linkages, and analysis of human pedigree and genetic disorders.
