Learning Outcomes |
|
|
The course aims to provide students with specialized knowledge about the heredity, the structure and the operation of genetic material. This knowledge is judged necessary for the students in order to understand the cultivated plants in a higher level. This knowledge is prerequisite for the courses of plant breeding and seed production and the course of animal breeding . On successful completion of this module the students will be able to: 1. Know the structure of nucleic acid and the operation of genetic material 2. Know the interaction between alleles genes. 3. Know the inheritance of unlinked genes 4. Know the interaction between unlinked genes 5. Know the inheritance of linked genes 6. Know the determination and the inheritance of sex. 7. Understand the importance of ploidy level 8. Understand the importance of the mutation of genetic material 9. Have the basic knowledge of molecular genetic engineering |
