- Course objectives
- The main objective of the course is to extend the knowlede od basic genetics (Bi3060). At the end of the course the students should be able to undestand the special topics of basic genetics and new information in current genetics as: History of genetics and Heritage of J.G.Mendel; Extranuclear inheritance - chloroplast, mitochondial and other cases; Special cases of linkage mapping; Mutations and their importance in genetics; Genetic variability of mutagenic responses; Behavioral genetics - methodology; Behavioral genetics and man.
