No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1989–90 to 1994–95 (before that, 1968–69 to 1981–82 used the number for Cell Biology Detailed survey of structure and function of cells. Cell morphogenesis. and Cell Biology 4411 Plant Physiology and Plant Growth and Development and Piant Growth and Development); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Molecular biotechnology applies the principles of recombinant DNA technology (genetic engineering, gene cloning) to the development of commercial products. The methods of recombinant DNA technology, molecular diagnostic systems for detecting diseases and transgenic organisms will be discussed.
As printed in the 1994–95 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
Requirements, as last listed
Prereq: BIOL 240/241 or permission of instructor. It is recommended that this course be taken after completion of second year.
