Genetics is a broad, rapidly growing field of science. It is a study of the physical and chemical aspects of the genetic material and their relationship to the phenotype's expression and inheritance. In this course, students will be treated with divisions of genetics, which include: transmission genetics (also called classical or Mendelian genetics), molecular genetics, and population and evolutionary genetics. This course enables the students to understand the basic mechanism of heredity and variation. Exciting topics will be tackled about inheritance rules by predicting genetic outcomes, linkage and recombination, the chemical basis of heredity, mutation, nature of genes, and population genetics. This course also presents chromosome and DNA structure and how DNA is replicated, transcribed to mRNA, and translated to proteins. The student will learn the different modes of inheritance and the kinds of interactions that occur between them. The student will also be able to discuss and present ideas on current research in genetics. Lectures are taught online via video-presentation, reading materials, and activities. In the laboratory, films, slides, computations, and written worksheets equip students with additional knowledge of genetic research. Some laboratory exercises include a face to face activity and may be conducted either individual or group works. Laboratory reports should briefly explain the experiment's background, give the materials and methods, results, and a discussion and analysis of those results.
