Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
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.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
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

Assessment methods and criteria
This teaching unit is composed of three parts that are under the responsibility of Prof. Ludivine Lassois, Prof. Hervé Vanderschuren and Prof. Nicolas Gengler.
The evaluation of the other parts will be done through a written evaluation.
The final grade will be calculated approximately proportional to the hours of each part.

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
Blending learning: A combination of face-to-face and distance learning with a reinforced aspect on the reverse classroom system. The student develops his learning thanks to the tools provided by the teacher (lecture notes, power point, exercises and corrections) and the teacher completes and reinforces the learning through collaborative sessions.
Assessment subjects
The evaluation will cover the following subject matter in both theoretical and practical aspects:
- Introduction to genetics
- The Mendelian analysis
- The chromosomal theory of heredity
- Chromosomes
- Developments in Mendelian analysis
- Gender-related heredity
- Recombinations and genetic maps
- The mutations
- Introduction to population genetics with applied problems
- Introduction to quantitative genetics with applied problems
For the part of Prof. Gengler: Commented power point, interactives exercises and their corrections, and all other require teaching support material will be availabe on e-campus.
Assessment methods
This teaching unit is composed of two parts which are under the responsibility of Prof. Ludivine Lassois and Prof. Nicolas Gengler.
The examination will take place at the date and time scheduled in CELCAT. The examination material includes all the chapters seen with the teachers, in face-to-face or distance learning, theory and practice. The exam will be held at a distance using the tools available on the ecampus platform. Learning achievements will be evaluated through questions relating to theoretical restitution, reflective questions based on your understanding of the course and your ability to solve exercises similar to those seen in the course.
The evaluation time will be limited to 2 hours. Certain questions, of comparable difficulty, will be randomly drawn among the students so that they will not have necessarily identical questionnaires.
The questions will be clear and precise so that the student is not confronted with questions related to the understanding of the question. Teachers will not be available to answer questions about the subject matter or the interpretation of the questions.
However, in case of technical problems (internet connections and/or access to e-campus, etc...) on the day of the exam, the teachers will be connected so that they can answer your problems in real time and offer you a solution.
The final mark will be calculated on a pro rata basis according to the hours of each speaker.
