Bio 132H- Honor’s Genetics and Evolution
An introductory course for biology majors. Students will learn about evolution, genetic inheritance (including Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance), and the mechanisms of how populations and species change over time, highlighting key evolutionary events. We will also explore the development of individual organisms, connecting developmental processes with evolutionary trends. This course has a lecture and recitation component.

BY216- Genetics
Focuses on one of the core concepts of biology; the flow, exchange, and storage of hereditary information. Topics will include principles of classical and molecular genetics, including transmission, arrangement, and alteration of genetic information; structure, function, and regulation of the genetic material; biological variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and population genetics; applications to human heredity. Two 80-minute lectures and one 3-hour lab per week.

BY398- Special Topics: Urban Evolution
Students will learn fundamental principles of evolution and gain skills in searching for, reading, and evaluating relevant primary research with a focus on urban evolution. Participants will synthesize findings by writing for both scientific and lay audiences and proposing new research to move the field forward. Prerequisites: BY-109 and BY-216.
