Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 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 |
