GENETICS 335

THESIS. Yr; 2 cr. Lab. fee $2.25 per lab. cr. Mr. Cole, Mr. Brink.

PRINCIPLES OF BREEDING. I; 3 cr. Elementary principles of heredity
in their application to plant and animal breeding. Additional pre-
scribed reading and written reports for graduate credit. Prerequi-
site: A course in biology. Mr. Cole.

ELEMENTARY LABORATORY. J; 1-2 cr. Breeding experiments illus-
trating the principles of heredity. Prerequisite: Genetics 101 or
concurrent registration. Lab. fee $2.25 per lab. cr. Mr. Brink and
staff.

PLANT GENETICS. I; 3 cr. Variation and inheritance in plants, in-
cluding genetics of sterility and disease resistance, and principles of
plant improvement. Prerequisite: Genetics 101 or equivalent in
zoology or botany. Mr. Brink.

ANIMAL GENETICS. II; 2 cr. Inheritance of economic characters in
domesticated animals; study of animal breeding methods; evaluation
and analysis of pedigrees; application of genetics to the problems
of livestock production. Prerequisite: Same as for Genetics 104.
Mr. Cole.

BIOMETRIC MeTHops. II; 2 cr. Lectures and laboratory work in
calculation of statistical measures of variability and correlation and
their practical application. Determination and usage of probable
errors of such measures and for Mendelian data. Prerequisite:
Same as for Genetics 104. Lab. fee $4.50. Mr. Brink.

SEMINARY. Yr; 1 cr. Consent of instructor required before election.
Mr. Cole.

ToPpicAL Work. Yr; *cr. Either (a) assigned topics in laboratory

record keeping. For those not prepared to elect Course 200. May
be taken in connection with, or subsequent to, Genetics 101; consent
of instructor required. Lab. fee $2.25 per lab. cr. Mr. Cole, Mr.
Brink.

RESEARCH. Yr; *cr. For students qualified by preliminary training.
Work may be based on the analysis of available data, or upon new
data acquired by experiment. The summer season offers exceptional
opportunity for breeding work with both animals and plants. Oppor-
tunity is offered to a limited number of properly qualified students
for research under direction during the summer. Such work may
extend through the whole season and is applicable toward advanced
degrees. Lab. fee $2.25 per lab. cr. Mr. Cole, Mr. Brink.
