DESCRIPTION
Genetics as central subject in the study of Biology has unified all biological sciences by revealing the uniformity of hereditary systems.
Genetics explains the processes of biological evolution as a change in allele frequencies, since genetic diversity is one of the basic levels of biodiversity. The understanding of the genetic dynamics of the populations is fundamental for theirs study and conservation. Gene-environment interactions (nature/nurture) explain the forms and characteristics of living organisms.
In addition, Genetics has a remarkable influence in our society:
- Modern society depends on Genetics, through the improvement of crop plants and farm animals.
- Genetics is of great importance in medicine, since a good number of diseases have a genetic basis
- Genetics affects the vision that we have of the world, our relations with the organic world and the rest of the universe.
Course will consist of 60hrs of in class work and 90 hrs of independent work outside the classroom.
