Evolution Friday Challenge: After going through cell division, explain how our understanding of Meiosis supports Mendel's Laws of Inheritence. From there, explain how Mitosis and Meiosis are important to the development and maintenance of diversity within a species. Finally, how is this system advantageous to what occurs with prokaryotic organisms, like bacteria?
Summer Courses:
I'm offering a topics class this summer (BIOL 4930, CRN 53880). The focus of the course is to read current books in popular biology, and then using journal articles, go through the science. The course is by consent of the instructor, and I'm willing to have students who complete this course join the topics class this summer. In student led discussions, you'll be teamed up with upper classmen or graduate students.
For post-baccalaureate students:
Dr. Errol Reiss, a retired CDC mycologist, is teaching a course in Medical Mycology. Again, this is by consent of the instructor. If you would like to try this class, come and talk to me.
