Describe the basic chemical structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), and their function in the processes of replication, transcription, and translation of genetic information.
[
multiple courses
]
Describe how DNA is transcribed to RNA and how RNA is translated into proteins.
[
BIOL 2030
]
Know the history of molecular biology and recombinant DNA
[
BIOL 3036
]
Comprehend different evolutionary models for genetic load and how these led to the neutral theory of molecular evolution. Understand and describe the “Neutral theory” and the “nearly neutral theory”. Know the major predictions of neutral theory and give examples where predictions have been validated with real molecular data. Comprehend both the benefits and pitfalls of neutral theory.
[
BIOL 3046
]
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
]
Understand how molecular evolutionary processes give rise to patterns of genetic diversity that we observe in the natural world, and how to use those patterns to make inferences about different processes.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the evolutionary significance of mutations at different levels of complexity. Apply evolutionary theory to understand impacts of mutations on fitness, rates of molecular evolution and genetic control of mutation.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the importance of molecular evolution in the post-genomic era, and be able to explain this to non-specialists.
