| Course Objectives: | Within the scope of the Genesis of Life course, it aims to teach the original history and physiological development processes of organisms. It is aimed to understand the variability between populations through phenotype and genotype differences. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; Learning Outcomes 1. To recognize the typical structural and physiological characteristics of living things. 2. To recognize the evolutionary history of organisms. 3. To examine the physiological development processes of organisms. 4. To examine the populations of a species in terms of hereditary-based traits. 5. To classfy basic concepts about the origin of life. 6. To recognize the environmental adaptations of organisms. |
| In this course, students will be taught the origin of life and the basic concepts of evolutionary biology by explaining organisms' evolutionary history and physiological development processes. In addition, students will be able to understand the current importance of evolutionary biology and evaluate environmental adaptations and modern scientific applications. |
