==Course Description==
[[Genetics]] is a Science course in the CTY program which has a Biology course, CTY or otherwise, as a prerequisite.  Its course code is GENE, and it is offered at [[Baltimore]], as well as [[Carlisle]] and [[Los Angeles]] first session only. It was also offered at [[Loudonville]].
 
  
==Course Description==
+
The first week of Genetics is heavily laden with review, covering things such as Mitosis, Meiosis, Punnet Squares, and the like. Depending on your high school's biology program, you may or may not be bored for the first week. Most (if not all) of the labs deal with Gel Electrophoresis, so by the end of the three weeks you will probably have the steadiest hand imaginable. The long pants/closed toes policy is not enforced for Genetics labs.
  
The first week of Genetics is heavily laden with review, covering things such as Mitosis, Meiosis, Punnet Squares, and the like. Depending on your high school's biology program, you may or may not be bored for the first week. Also, Genetics tends to attract students of a greater-than-usual age range, which can lead to problems for those at either end of the spectrum.
+
At CAR, the class is normally taught by Mr. Pellegrino (however, since he is only one person, in the event of two classes one will not have him as a teacher). He has taught at CTY for 20+ years, and almost always wears an old CTY shirt. In his class there are 3 main projects, one for every week. He also has a miniature trivia competition each day, so if you have him be sure to brush up on Genetics trivia before the camp begins. Mr. P's study hall is normally in the basement of the library, which is quite cold (so bringing a sweater is highly advised). Textbooks are also almost never used (however you still have to buy it).

Fun Facts about Dr. Dormer: He wrote a puzzle book.  He wrote and self-published the book ''Never Cry Hippo'', a picture book without pictures.  The child gets to draw in the pictures!  Dani's dad sent her the book in a care package, but unfortunately, Dr. Dormer was fired before she could ask him to autograph it.  Dr. Dormer went to UTESA School of Medicine in the Dominican Republic and is most likely unlicensed to practice in the USA.  Dr. Dormer obviously did not understand the point of CTY and assumed that he was teaching a regular HS biology class that could not understand a word he was saying.  Dr. Dormer is a FRAUD and HQ in Baltimore were obviously duped/conned when they hired him.

Course Description

The first week of Genetics is heavily laden with review, covering things such as Mitosis, Meiosis, Punnet Squares, and the like. Depending on your high school's biology program, you may or may not be bored for the first week. Most (if not all) of the labs deal with Gel Electrophoresis, so by the end of the three weeks you will probably have the steadiest hand imaginable. The long pants/closed toes policy is not enforced for Genetics labs.

He has taught at CTY for 20+ years, and almost always wears an old CTY shirt. In his class there are 3 main projects, one for every week.
