- The chromosome theory of inheritance : mitosis, meiosis.
- The modifications of genetic material : genic, chromosomic and genomic mutations.
- The Mendelian analysis : principles and applications to haploid and euploid organisms; applied problems.
- The development of the Mendelian analysis : relation between genes, linkage, sex-linked inheritance, cytoplasmic inheritance; applied problems

| Course objective : | To study the principles of inheritance and genetic variation in eucaryots, dividing the content along three main components : formal genetics, introduction to quantitative genetics and to population genetics.
After completing the course the student is expected to
-explain the basis of inheritance and genetic variation in eucaryots
-assess the influence of biological factors on the genetics of eucaryots
-analyse the properties of Mendelian, quantitative and population genetics
-resolve basic problems of formal genetics, quantitative and population genetics |
