Expirements in Genetics and Evolution: Inheritance in Sexual and Asexual Organisms

本提案的目的是为下列目的购置新设备： 基因和蛋白质的分析，从而现代化， 振兴生物系的遗传学课程， 乌尔西诺学院。此外，该设备将允许 在进化中加入更具挑战性的实验 课程，并扩大学生的机会 我们会修订及更新 遗传学课程通过教授不可或缺的，基本的 遗传学的原则，辅之以辅助课程， 处理遗传学的历史，性知识和 遗传学研究所需的无性生物， 获得技术和实验设计技能 科学职业所必需的。这些技能将鼓励 更好地为学生准备一个独立的本科生 研究经验，一个机会，生物学 部门希望提供给所有专业。设备 要求将允许我们教我们的几个新的原则， 遗传学和进化课程，加强学生的研究 计划，更好地服务于前所未有的生物学数量 我们有幸吸引到乌尔西诺的专业 学院

The purpose of this proposal is to acquire new equipment for the analysis of genes and proteins, thereby modernizing and revitalizing the Genetics course in the Biology Department at Ursinus College. In addition, the equipment will allow the inclusion of more challenging experiments in the Evolution course, and the expansion of opportunities for student research.We will revise and update the laboratory component of the Genetics course by teaching the indispensable, fundamental principles of Genetics, supplemented by auxiliary lessons which deal with the history of genetics, knowledge of sexual and asexual organisms needed for genetics research, and the acquisition of technical and experimental design skills necessary for careers in science. Such skills will encourage and better prepare students for an independent undergraduate research experience, an opportunity which the Biology Department desires to provide to all majors.The equipment requested will permit us to teach several new principles in our Genetics and Evolution courses, enhance the student research program, and better serve the unprecedented numbers of Biology majors we have had the good fortune to attract to Ursinus College.
