- Course objectives
- In genetics practise students test, deepen and fixate their knowledge about general principles of heredity and variability of living systems. Students work independently with genetic material, they can see and evaluate human chromosome sections, assemble and evaluate physiological and pathological karyotypes and discuss causes and consequences of chromosome aberration. Chosen examples being solved during lessons serve for better understanding statistical nature of Mendel’s laws and the importance of probable actions in heredity of an individual and the population. It emphasizes specifics of man’s attributes heredity, problems of human genome, methods used in human genetics – genealogic method, twins study methods, statistical methods in human genetics and genetics of populations.

- 1. Revision of knowledge gained during learning genetics in high school. 2. Basic genetic terminology – exercises on a magnetic board. 3. Eukaryotic chromosomes structure – I. video. 4. Eukaryotic chromosomes structure - II. microscopic sections of male and female chromosomes. 5. Chromosome aberration at man: video, microscopic sections of chromosome aberrations. 6. Assembling of karyotypes and their evaluation. 7. Mendel’s laws – I. model examples of AD and AR heredity. 8. Mendel’s laws – II. model examples of GR and GD heredity, deviations from Mendel’s rules, genetic interactions. 9. Genetic bond, strength of the bond, principles of chromosome maps construction. 10.
