Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of the basic school level of mathematics, physics, chemistry biology. 2. The ability to independently apply knowledge from the school course of biology and other educational disciplines to solve specific scientific and practical problems; to work with scientific and scientific-methodical literature. 3. Possession of elementary skills of comparative analysis, establishment of cause and effect relationships, as well as system analysis.
Course content
Discipline "Genetics" is a fundamental course of the natural cycle that studies the patterns of heredity and variability of organisms, mechanisms of transmission of hereditary information, its realization, change and preservation. The purpose of the course is to form a holistic understanding of the patterns of heredity, structure and functioning of the genetic apparatus of the cell, the basics of genetic analysis, as well as modern methods of genetic research in biology, medicine, agriculture and biotechnology.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, practical work, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
Survey, performance of analytical and calculation works, modular control works, exam. The maximum number of points on the exam is 40 points, the minimum number of points that are added to the semester ones is 24 points (60% of the maximum number of points assigned to the exam). Students who scored at least 36 points during the semester (60% of the maximum number of points assigned to the semester control) are allowed to take the exam in the discipline. Students who, during the semester, scored a total of less than the critical calculation minimum - 36 points, need to re-pass the current knowledge control (for example, in the form of a test) in order to pass the exam.
