Advanced genetics and biochemistry

This high school level course carries prerequisites of high school level biology and chemistry classes.  
This seminar style class will include an introduction to organic chemistry, a review of Mendelian 
genetics, and a study of advanced genetic topics. Lectures will focus heavily on complex biochemical 
structures and processes and how they defy evolutionary models and point to a Creator.  Students will 
conduct genetic experiments with bacteria and with fruit flies, in addition to completing a project each 
semester and taking regular quizzes and exams.

Topics include: 

• Mendelian genetics 
• Gene regulation 
• Epigenetic factors 
• Genetic disorders and diseases 
• Non-Mendelian inheritance 
• Organic functional groups 
• Major biomolecules 
• Plasma membranes 
• Major histocompatibility complex 
• And more….
