The main areas that are covered are: transmission genetics, gene and genome structure, stability and variability mechanisms. The course also provides students with the skills to solve simple genetic problems .This is carried out by using an interactive approach.a AIMS AND CONTENT AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The course provides basic knowledge of -general mechanisms of inheritance, with particular attention to human heredity -fundamentals of molecular genetics mechanisms that underlie monogenic inheritance models . -basic features of the process and the molecular basis of mutations -potential medical applications using simulation exercises TEACHING METHODS The course consists of frontal interactive lectures with assistance in solving simple genetic problems SYLLABUS/CONTENT Mitosis versus Meiosis Basic principles of inheritance: applications of Mendel's principles to eukaryotes followed by an introduction to humans (notions of features of autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance) Sex-chromosomes and the chromosomal theory of inheritance. Sex-linked traits Extensions of Mendel's classic genetics: allelic variations, gene-gene interactions, gene-environment interactions Linked genes: recombination and gene mapping in eukaryotes. Basic features of mutations: molecular basis of mutation and different phenotypic effects. Chemical and physical mutagens.

LESSONS Class schedule The timetable for this course is available here: Portale EasyAcademy EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Written multiple choice test. The assessment of the integrated course is made up of a single written exam for the 4 sub-sections(10 multiple choice questions per each module: Biology, Genertal Genetics, Medical Genetics and Microbiology). In order to pass the class athe student has to reach a mark of at least 24/40 (18/30). The total amount of time allowed for the exam is 60 minutes. Students enrolled in other universities or other degree courses who are only required to sit for some of the sub-sections must achieve an average mark of at least 6, 12 or 18, depending on the number of modules ASSESSMENT METHODS Students are assessed by a final exam alone which aims to ensure that they have actually reached the required level of knowledge. In order to pass the class, students must reach a mark of at least 18/30.
