BENA2004 Genetics (4 cr)
Description
The lectures will cover classical mendelian genetics, DNA typing, the flow of genetic information, the origin and repair of mutations, the characteristics of prokaryotes, the regulation of gene function and the basics of developmental genetics. Finally, you will learn about research methods and their applications in genetics and molecular biology. Learning and practical exercises.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student masters the basic concepts of classical genetics and molecular biology and understands the passage of genetic information and the processes involved in gene regulation and developmental- and molecular genetics. The student also understands how this information can be exploited in modern genetics / molecular biology research methods and is able to apply this knowledge both in solving genetic problems and in following critically the development and coverage of the area.
