Position Summary:
The unity underlying all life forms is explored through examination of the cell, and the biological chemicals, structures, and processes that govern cell organization, metabolism, communication, integration and reproduction. Major topics include respiration and photosynthesis; regulation of the cell cycle; features of multicellularity; DNA structure, function, and repair; gene expression and regulation; mitosis and meiosis; patterns of inheritance; microbial genetics.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe the molecular basis of the structure and function of eukaryotic cells
  • Discuss the structure and function of cell membranes and relate them to cellular processes
  • Recognize and describe complex eukaryotic gene regulation at the transcriptional, post- transcriptional, translational and post-translational levels
  • Explain macromolecular interactions involved in specific gene regulatory mechanisms
  • Apply the knowledge in cell and molecular biology to understand the genetic basis of human diseases

Topics Covered:
Techniques in cell biology; nucleic acids and proteins; chromatin structure and epigenetics; cell membranes; cell division: the cell cycle, meitosis, and meiosis; transcriptional regulation of eukaryotic gene expression: RNA polymerases and promoters; general transcription factors; transcription activators and repressors; post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression: RNA splicing and processing; mRNA stability and localization; RNA interference; translation in Eukaryotes; post-translational control mechanisms; genetic diseases.
