BIO201GENETICS I

BIO201 – Genetics I introduces students to the fundamental concepts of heredity and the molecular basis of genetic information. The course covers classical Mendelian genetics, patterns of inheritance, chromosomal theory, genetic linkage, and gene mapping. It also delves into the structure and function of DNA, RNA, and proteins, along with mechanisms such as transcription, translation, and mutation.

The course highlights the applications of genetics in fields such as agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology, helping students understand genetic diseases, genetic engineering, and ethical considerations in modern genetics. Through problem-solving and case analysis, students strengthen their ability to interpret genetic data and understand how genetic principles influence the traits of individuals and populations.
