BIOL 313L EXPERIMENTS IN MOLECULAR PLANT BIOLOGY

This laboratory is designed to involve students in investigation, problem solving, and discovery. Students will work in small groups with computer simulation programs and other activities involving plants. Experiments using molecular biology techniques will allow studies in plant genetics; physiology and histology will be covered. Computer exercises allow students to investigate molecular techniques, principles of genetics, classification of organisms based on evolutionary relationships, evolutionary mechanisms, population ecology and other topics.
