Eukaryotic cells at the molecular level — transcription, translation, replication, and the tools modern biology uses to investigate them.
BIO 310 provides a comprehensive overview of how eukaryotic cells function at the molecular level. Coverage includes transcription, translation, and regulation of gene expression; DNA replication; and the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. The course also surveys the molecular tools available to investigate these processes — the techniques that drive modern biological research.
This is the upper-division course where biology majors move from general biology into the molecular detail that graduate programs and biotech employers assume. Lab fee required.
Trace Gene Expression
Work through transcription, translation, and the regulation of gene expression.
Examine DNA Replication
Study the molecular mechanisms that copy genetic material with precision.
Study Cell Cycle Regulation
Understand how cells coordinate growth, proliferation, and differentiation.
Apply Molecular Tools
Use the laboratory techniques that drive contemporary cell and molecular biology research.
A Biblical Worldview treats the molecular intricacy of cellular life as something to investigate carefully. BIO 310 builds working competence in modern molecular biology — preparation for biotech, biomedical research, or graduate study in the life sciences.
BIO 310 takes biology majors into the molecular detail modern science depends on. Explore the programs that include it.
