CH385 INTRODUCTION TO CELL BIOLOGY

  • 3.5 credit hours
  • (BS=3.5, ET=0.0, MA=0.0)
  • Version 2026-1
  • In effect
Scope
The course will cover the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The course will present a detailed discussion on the molecular biology of DNA replication, transcription, translation, the control of gene expression, cell-to-cell signaling, and the cytoskeleton. Emphasis will be placed on research methods and techniques that have lead to our understanding of how the cell works.
