... majors and prehealth students at the PUI. This course investigates the transmission and expression of genetic information, organisms, and population genetics. Students enrolled in Gen learned about genotyping at microsatellite markers to investigate genetic diversity in ecosystems with different levels...

...Robert J. Driver; Susan B. McRae The Hardy-Weinberg principle (HWP) is an application of the binomial expansion theorem that is foundational to the field of population genetics. Because of the important history of the HWP in answering how variation is preserved during evolution, and the ability...

...Michael S. Brewer; Grant E. Gardner Teaching population genetics provides a bridge between genetics and evolution by using examples of the mechanisms that underlie changes in allele frequencies over time. Existing methods of teaching these concepts often rely on computer simulations or hand...
