Course Content

Genetics,which is a discipline of biology, is the study of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. The course content includes molecular structure and function of genes, gene behavior in the context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics), patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution, variation and change in populations.
