EXP 1502 - The Interaction of Genes and Environment in Our Lives

Credits: 3
Explorations Courses focus on enduring questions. Enduring questions do not have easy answers; instead, they encourage examination of complex issues from multiple perspectives, introspection, evidence-based arguments, and learning how to respectfully discuss controversial and difficult topics. This course focuses on how genes and environment interact in determining a variety of human traits, behaviors, and conditions. Methods to determine the degree to which a particular trait, behavior, or disease is heritable and current findings of such interactions will be reviewed. Students will also examine the Merrimack Connections curriculum.
