Understand the concepts and role genetics plays in conservation of marine mammals
[
BIOL 3090
]
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
]
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
]
Comprehend the complexity of homology relationships under a variety of different molecular evolutionary processes.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Develop basic understanding of molecular phylogenetics
[
BIOL 3301
]
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
]
Know updates and extensions to Darwinian theory that led to modern theory. Comprehend and explain principles arising from the neo-Darwinian synthesis and neutral theory.
[
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.
