Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- solve model examples from genetics of eukaryonts;
- solve model examples from genetics of populations;
- create and analyse a human karyotype;
- identify and specify types of the most frequent chromosomal aberrations;
- explain mechanisms of emergence of chromosomal and genome mutations.
Syllabus
  • 1. Revision of knowledge gained during learning genetics in high school. Laws of probability calculation – examples.
  • 2. Basic genetic terminology, mutual relations between alleles, genealogy – examples.
  • 3. Mendel’s laws I.: model examples of AD and AR heredity.
  • 4. Mendel’s laws II.: model examples of GD and GR heredity.
  • 5. Genetic prognosis.
  • 6. Eukaryotic chromosomes I.: assembling of karyotypes and their evaluation. Male and female karyotypes.
  • 7. Eukaryotic chromosomes II.: chromosome aberrations at man - examples.
  • 8. Expression of genetic information, point and chromosomal mutations - examples.
  • 9. Chromosomes, cell cycle - microscopy.
  • 10. Deviations from Mendel’s rules: penetrance, expresivity, sex-influenced and -controlled traits, non-allelic genes interaction - examples.
  • 11. Morgan’s laws, genetic bond, strength of the bond, principles of chromosome maps construction. Calculation of Morgan´s and Bateson´s numbers - examples.
  • 12. Population genetics: H.-W. genetic equilibrium - numerical exercises, examples of fixation and displacement of alleles – mutations and selective pressure.
  • 13. Coefficient of affinity and dangers resulting from inbreeding – examples, heredity of quantitative traits at man – examples.

Teaching methods
During practical seminars the examples from genetics of eukaryonts, molecular genetics and genetics of populations will be analysed.
From a given genetic material every student defines normal and pathological human (female and male) karyotype.
Students will microscopically observe cells in different stages of mitotic division.
The seminar will be supported by video programmes from genetic counselling offices and from centres for assisted reproduction.
Assessment methods
Credit.
Student have to fulfil attendance, sumbitt and repair all required protocols and pass a test.
Language of instruction
Czech
