Genetics
Résumé de section
-
-
- Understand how DNA, chromosomes, and cell division underpin inheritance.
- Study Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance in diploid organisms.
- Identify Sources of Genetic Variation and learn how recombination and independent assortment create genetic diversity.
- Recognize inheritance patterns tied to sex chromosomes and gene interactions (epistasis).
- Gain foundational knowledge of genetics in populations and simple organisms like viruses and bacteria.
