Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1) Recognize the role of genes and importance of genetic material (DNA), the meaning of inheritance and the importance of cytological phenomena (Mitosis, Meiosis) and chromosome mapping. 2) Obtain knowledge of gene expression and analyse the phenomena of self incompatibility, male sterility, aneyploidy, polyploidy and maternal heritability and their expression in plant evolution, breeding and ecology. 3) Be familiar with the principles of Mendelian genetics to solve exercises and problems and obtain knowledge on a wide range of techniques and applications of modern genetics. 3) Develop critical thoughts and skills for exploiting the new techniques and applications of Genetics, in Agricultural science.
