This course introduces students to the principles of genetics and inheritance. Learners will study genes, chromosomes, DNA structure, Mendelian inheritance, genetic crosses, variation, mutations, and modern genetic applications. The course develops analytical and problem-solving skills and prepares students for advanced biological studies and careers in medicine, biotechnology, and research.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
• Explain the structure and function of DNA and genes.
• Describe how traits are inherited from parents to offspring.
• Perform and interpret Mendelian genetic crosses.
• Explain meiosis and its role in variation.
• Understand mutations and their effects.
• Apply genetics concepts to real-life examples and modern science.
