#genetics
Analyze human pedigrees to determine if a trait is dominant or recessive, if the gene for the trait is located on an autosome or sex chromosome, and if the trait is likely controlled by a single gene or more than one gene.
[

Describe the mechanism of gene expression regulation and explain their importance in controlling developmental processes
[
BIOL 3050
]
Design DNA primers that could be used for targeted amplification of specific DNA segments via PCR.
[
BIOL 3042
]
Design experiments to quantify genetic variance and heritability.
[
BIOL 3044
]
Distinguish between the application of genotype-by-environment interactions to local adaptation vs phenotypic plasticity.
[
BIOL 3044
]
Explain how complex genetic systems lead to modifications of the basic principles of Mendelian inheritance.
[
BIOL 2030
]
Explain how DNA sequence data are used to identify species, and how this methodology has developed into a new subdiscipline of taxonomic science known as ‘DNA barcoding’
[
BIOL 3042
]
Infer (calculate) genetic variance components for continuous traits from any of the major methods used to infer them (One way ANOVA, covariance among relatives, realized heritability)

Know mechanisms for functional divergence at the molecular level that span a wide range of biological complexity. Understand how specific models of adaptive evolution explain real examples of functional divergence.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Outline how genetics can be used for fisheries management and forensic purposes
[
BIOL 3042
