PO9: Ethics: Application of ethical principles and commitment to professional ethics and responsibilities.

Course Syllabus

Theory

Unit I: Principles of genetics and breeding, Gene and chromosome as basis of inheritance, Mendel’s law of inheritance – complete and incomplete dominance, monohybrid and dihybrid ratios.

Unit II: Gene interactions – dominant and recessive epistasis. Pleiotropism. Lethal genes. Mutation.

Unit III: Sex - linked genes, sex influenced and sex limited traits. Linkage and crossing over.

Unit IV: Introduction to population genetics. Hardy- Weinberg law and its significance.

Unit V: Chromosomal structure and aberrations. Chromosome manipulation techniques - androgenesis, gynogenesis and polyploidy and identification of ploidy. Sex determination.

Unit VI: Cross breeding (hybridization)– types of cross breeding, heterosis and design of cross breeding programmes, hybridization in different fishes. Quantitative genetics – quantitative traits, polygenic traits, heritability.

Unit VII: History and present status of selective breeding programs in aquaculture. Selection methods and mating designs. Design for selective breeding. Inbreeding and its consequences. Domestication methods.

Unit VIII: Seed certification and quarantine procedures. Cryopreservation of gametes.

Practicals

  • Problems on Mendelian inheritance (qualitative genetics) - monohybrid and dihybrid ratios and epistasis.
  • Problems on quantitative traits, response to selection and heritability.
  • Estimation of rate of inbreeding and heterosis.
  • Mitotic and meiotic chromosome preparation.
  • Demonstration of protocol of androgenesis, gynogenesis and polyploidy.
  • Problems on gene and genotypic frequency.
  • Gamete cryopreservation protocols and quality evaluation of fish milt.
