ANTH-A 211 THE GENETIC SCIENCE OF CSI
* Meets GenEd N&M Natural Science and COLL (CASE)
N&M
* 1st 6 Week Summer Session
* Only three days per week: MTW 10:20A-12:15P
Need N&M Credit? Obsessed with CSI? Want to know the
science behind the forensic genetics on these popular shows? Where are you
leaving your DNA? What can I tell about you from your DNA (skin color, hair
color, eye color, height, disease, ancestry…)? How likely is it that your DNA
will falsely implicate you in a crime? Will your next speeding citation include
being swabbed for a genetic sample? Is OJ guilty? Who is buried in the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier? Is there really tiger bone in that love potion? Was that
sushi you just ate really tuna? These and many other questions will be
addressed in this course.
