Course Outcomes
Linkage Maps
Students can construct two- and three-point linkage maps.
Gene Annotation
Students can display fluency in interpreting gene annotation and nomenclature in GenBank records.
Data Set Analysis
Students can demonstrate ability to analyze and apply Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests to complex genetic
data sets involving segregation and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium models.
Inheritance Patterns
Students can identify differences between extranuclear, autosomal and sex-linked inheritance patterns.
Evolutionary Phylogenies
Students can use genetic data (DNA or amino acid sequence) to reconstruct basic evolutionary phylogenies.
Variance Components
Students can dissect quantitative traits into environmental and genetic variance components.
