Course Objectives: | The main objective of the course is to provide an understanding of the principles and concepts of genetics and its applications in biological sciences. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Introduction to course, define basic concepts in genetics 2. Define DNA as the genetic material 3. Evaluate gene structure and function 4. Discuss outcomes of DNA variations 5. Define Mendelian genetics 6. Identify how chromosomes function in inheritance 7. Differentiate Non-Mendelian genetics from Mendelian genetics 8. Describe genomics and mapping of genomic sequences 9. Define dynamic aspects of genomics 10. Recognize relevance of genetics in cancer 11. Identify genetic composition of biological populations 12. Discuss theories on adaptation and evolution |
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. |
