| Course Contents |
| 1. To link the structure of DNA to its functions and the mechanisms it fulfills. 2. Describe the molecular process of protein gene expression from DNA. 3. Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression 4. Analyzing a genetic regulatory system to determine levels of gene expression. 6. Describe the importance of meiosis 7. Understand how Mendel's hybrids prove the meiosis process 8. Estimate the results of crossings using probability rules 9. Use numerical and phenotypic evidence to develop and support hypotheses about underlying inheritance mechanisms 10. Create link maps 11. Link the cytological phenomen to the meiosis errors 12. Use statistical tools to analyze quantitative genetic data 13. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium as a model and calculating the variation of populations. This course will be compare the variations and chromosomal features of different organisms. |
