Genetics

This 3 credit course introduces students to basic genetics concepts. It covers DNA structure and function, mechanisms of RNA and protein synthesis, gene inheritance, genetic variation within and between species, and basic biotechnology applications. The course involves 34 hours of lectures, exercises, and practical work. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of heredity and genetic methodology, the role of genetics in evolution, and genetic technologies in biotechnology industries. Assessment includes exams, homework, and a final exam. Main topics include DNA replication, transcription, translation, inheritance patterns, population genetics, epigenetics, and gene technologies.
