The Principles of Molecular Biology
X107A (3 semester units in Molecular and Cell Biology)
The molecular basis of heredity and the structure and function of genes are covered in this course. You discuss the structures of DNA, how it carries genetic information, how it replicates to perpetuate that information, and how it functions through RNA and protein synthesis. A major theme throughout the course is the interrelation of molecular structure and function.
