Genetics

1. Classical exhibition of themes;
2. Performing of laboratory tasks and various exercises;
3. Execution of exercises of hereditary perspectivation;
4. Complementary and oriented bibliographic research.

1. To know the molecular and cytological basis of the cell and the mechanisms and structures involved in the phenomena of heredity, including heredopathology and phenotypic variability
2. Know the principles of Mendel, the different intergenic relationships, normal and special transmission patterns (including phenomena of inprinting) and related heredopathology.
3. To know the Hardy-Weinberg postulate and the principles of the quantitative approach applied to plant and animal genetic improvement
4. Understand the applicability in plant and animal production.

Objective 1 Cytogenetics & Molecular G. (15%): 1. cytogenetic & nuclear organization of eukaryotes and prokaryotes; 2.hereditary sexual transmission, exchanges, aberrations (deletions, inversions, translocations) and chromosomal anomalies (polysomies and polyploidy); 3.Genetic variability-polymorphisms (including SNPs) and epigenetics

Objective 2-Mendel and special transmission patterns (30%): 1. Mendel principles, relationships of genes and special cases of heredity (including “inprinting”);2. plant and animal traits; 3. Hereditary prediction exercises; Applications in the plant and animal kingdom

Objective 3-Populations & Quantitative G. (30%): 1. Hardy-Weinberg, applications; 2. polygenic & phenotypic variability, components, heritability, breeding value, types & methods of selection and crossing, inbreeding & heterosis; 3. Exercises;

Objective 4-Context of knowledge & applications in plants (25%):1. particularities & specificities;2-bacteria & viruses in Agriculture
