Long Title: PARADIGMS IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND CELL BIOLOGY

Department: Biochemistry and Cell Biology

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Description: Examination of paradigms in Biochemistry and Cell Biology with a focus on the "central dogma" of molecular biology. RESTRICTIONS: If taken one semester before taking any other 300 BIOC course, this course can count as a Biosciences Group A course (for students following the old curriculum), or as a 300 level Natural Science/Engineering Elective (for those majoring in Biochemistry and Cell Biology under the current curriculum), as an elective 300 level BIOC lecture course (for those majoring in Biological Sciences under the current curriculum.) Space in this course is limited. Registration does not guarantee a space in class. The Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology will conduct a review of those requesting this course to create the roster for the semester and will communicate confirmed registration by December 1. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Recommended strongly for students with Advanced Placement in Biology and designed for prospective BIOC majors. For students with AP credit for BIOS/BIOC 201, this course is strongly recommended as preparation for BIOC 341 (Cell Biology).
