Genetics is the backbone of modern biology, crucial for understanding the vital mechanisms underlying biological diversity, from species evolution to cellular regulation. Mastering genetics allows biologists to decipher the causes of hereditary diseases, study organism adaptation, and improve agricultural practices.

   This course is designed to provide second-year biological sciences students with a comprehensive understanding of fundamental genetic principles. It covers both theoretical and practical aspects, focusing on hereditary mechanisms and the molecular processes governing gene expression. Students will explore Mendel's laws of inheritance, delve into molecular genetics—including DNA replication, transcription, translation, and the impact of mutations—and examine the applications of genetics in research, medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture.
