Have you ever wondered about what genes are? Or how information from your parents is passed on to you? Or how the environment influences your genes? Or maybe even just why genetics matters? This class covers some of the basics of genetics including what DNA is, how transcription and translation work, and how heredity (how information is passed on) works. We will also discuss epigenetics, genetic engineering, and what happens when something goes wrong in the form of genetic disease.

Evolution isn't just any old scientific theory - it's the biggest reason for the world's ecological diversity. The animal world is full of strange adaptations when it comes to reproduction. How does evolution account for these - or does it? Includes overview of principles of evolution as applied to reproduction, such as the Red Queen Hypothesis, sexual selection, and real-world examples.
