Course Purpose and Content

Course Objectives:	This course aims to provide students with detailed information about genes, chromosomes and genetic diversity. On the other hand, it teaches the genetics of Organisms and the genetics of Populations and provides a complete understanding of DNA replication and variations and gene expression through genetic information.
Course Content:	Course content includes Genes, Chromosomes and Heredity; Mitosis and Meiosis, Mendelian Genetics, Chromosome maps, Chromosome mutations, DNA structure, replication, Expression and Replication of genetic information; It covers topics such as genetic code, Translation, Protein synthesis, Gene mutations.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Must be able to learn to look at the basic genetic perception in detail
2) Be able to understand Mendelian genetics and the effect of genes as genotype and phenotype
3) Must be able to understand the effects of gene and chromosome mutations
4) Must be able to understand chromosome and DNA structures and gene regions
