|
Learning unit contents :
|
||
| - Introduction : genetics and the organism. - The support of genetic information in eucaryots. - 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 - Introduction to population genetics with applied problems. - Introduction to quantitative genetics with applied problems. | ||
