    These are the student learning outcome(s) that directly require this student learning outcome.
  • Describe the bacterial species ‘concept’, phylogenetic tree of prokaryotes (including the role of gene transfer) [BIOL 2004]
  • Describe the basic elements of how the field of ‘metagenomics’ examines the genetic diversity of microbial communities and how the new methods of DNA sequencing are revolutionizing this field [BIOL 3042]
  • Describe the basic evolutionary tree of eukaryotes; and show understanding of major unresolved questions [BIOL 3102]
  • 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]
  • Outline how genetics can be used for fisheries management and forensic purposes [BIOL 3042]
