Introduction to Molecular Biology
Bi 8. Introduction to Molecular Biology; Organization and
Expression of Genetic Information.
9 units (3-0-6); second
term.
This course and its sequel, Bi 9, cover biology at the
cellular level. After introducing basic concepts necessary for
understanding biological systems at the molecular level, Bi 8
emphasizes cellular processes involved in the organization and
expression of genetic information, including what is commonly
called molecular biology, and introduces topics in developmental
biology and immunology.
