1.Genetics is offered as a core course that provides fundamental knowledge of inheritance and evolution of the concept of gene with study of genetic diseases.
2.This course provides an overview of genetics starting from the work of Mendel to the current understanding of various phenomena like recombination, transposition, sex determination and mutations.
3.Describe the mechanisms governing Mendelian inheritance, gene interactions and gene expression.
The primary outcome of studying this course will be the gaining of knowledge of the basic principles of inheritance and knowledge of the principles of genetics is essential for a deeper understanding of the varied branches of the biological.Knowledge of the mechanisms of mutations and the causative agents will lead to an increase in an awareness of the students about the harmful impact of various chemicals and drugs being used in day to day life.Student Will be able to make a strategy to manipulate genetic structure of an organism for the improvement in any trait or its well being based on the techniques learned during this course.
