Key words
Genes – inheritance – gene linkage – gene interactions – DNA – RNA – gene expression – mutations – quantitative genetic characteristics – population genetics
Objectives
Provide to students fundamental insight in the mean genetic topic as there are:
- Inheritance of monogenic, polygenic and cytoplasmatic characteristics
- Interaction between genes en the consequences of gene and chromosomal disorders
- The structure of genetic material and gene expression
- Allele - and gene frequencies in populations
Topics
Part 1: Mendelian inheritance
Part 2: Chromosomal basis of inheritance; sex determination and sex likage
Part 3:Extensions of Mendelian genetic analysis
Part 4: Linkage, crossing-over, gene mapping
Part 5: Structure of genetic material, organisation of DNA in chromosomes, DNA replication
Part 6: Genetic code and gene expression
Part 7: Chromosomal mutations
Part 8: Gene mutations
Part 9: Quantitative genetics
Part 10: Cytoplasmatic genetics
Part 11: Population genetics
Prerequisites
Plant and animal science; bio molecules; basic principles of statistics
Final Objectives
To be able to assess and to apply the effect of inheritance mechanisms on plant- and animal genotypes. After successfully finishing the course the students must be capable to understand recent research results and scientific publications in genetics.
