The course objective is to explore the fundamental principles of heredity, examining the flow of genetic information from the molecular to the organismal level. Students will delve into key concepts, including DNA replication, gene expression, and the mechanisms of inheritance. Students will learn about classical genetics, chromosomal structure, and the evolutionary forces that shape genetic variation within populations. This course provides a foundational understanding of genetics, crucial for students in any biologically-related field, as it provides a framework for understanding the underlying principles that govern life processes and contribute to the diversity of life on Earth.
