Principles of genetics including molecular, cytological, classical, developmental and population genetics with reference to micro-organisms, plants and animals.
Principle of genetics including molecular, cytological, classical and developmental genetics with reference to micro-organisms, plants, humans and animals.
Understanding the structure of DNA, how genetic information is transferred and interpreted by a cell, what are genes and how genes are switched on and off. In the practical classes, you will gain experience in preparing chromosomes for analysis, modern molecular genetic techniques for the analysis of gene functions.
