Molecular Genetics is the field of Biology that studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level and thus employs methods of both molecular Biology and Genetics. The study of chromosomes and gene expression of an organism can give insight into heredity, Genetic variation, and mutations. This is useful in the study of developmental Biology and in understanding and treating Genetic diseases.
This course deals with the study of biological systems at the molecular level. Molecular biology deals with nucleic acids and proteins, and how these molecules interact within the cell to promote proper growth, division, and development.
