Description:
| Aims: To introduce the structure and function of nucleic acids; To introduce the concepts and methodology of genetic modification; To introduce the processes of animal and plant development; To introduce the safe handling and uses of radiochemicals in the biosciences.
Learning Outcomes: After taking this course the student should be able to:
* explain how the structure of nucleic acid determines their biological function;
* explain the techniques of genetic modification for studying and manipulating organisms, especially micro-organisms, for fundamental and applied science;
* describe the role changing patterns of gene expression play in modulating development during animal embryogeny;
* describe the methods for safe handling of radiochemicals and their uses in the Biosciences.
Skills: Learning and studying T/F/A, Written communication T/F/A, Information technology T/F, Information handling & retrieval T/F/A, Working independently T/F, Laboratory skills T/F, Career preparation T/F.
Content: The structure and function of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in relation to organisms, genes, gene expression and protein synthesis. How organisms, genes and gene expression can be altered and studied via the technology of genetic modification. How the changing patterns of gene expression in cells and tissues can lead to the development of an egg into an animal, using examples from Xenopus, Drosophila and mouse. Practical skills: Basic quantitative laboratory skills; radiochemical handling.
