  Welcome to the Biology 2250 (Principles of Genetics) HOME PAGE for the Mendelian Genetics part of the course. The slide presentations from the lectures will be made available here following each lecture. Other useful information will also be posted during the semester. Check the web page frequently for updates.

    Tentative Outline of Topics

It is particularly important to keep up with the readings and problems in the textbook.

This WebPage was also used for the course during Fall 2004. Lectures will be updated for the Fall 2005 course
