Course content
The discipline "Molecular-genetic mechanisms of pre-embryonic development" is a component of the cycle of professional training of specialists of the educational level "Bachelor" in the educational program "Biology" (specialization "Reproductive Biology"). The discipline is a basic cytological discipline that covers the principles of sexual reproduction of multicellular organisms, morphofunctional characteristics and structure of gametes, gametogenesis, mechanisms of gamete growth, mechanism of sperm-egg fusion, acrosomal and cortical reactions, control of anterior molecular development gamete. The course is designed to highlight the main issues regarding the peculiarities of molecular genetic mechanisms during prenatal development to solve scientific and practical problems in modern biology and medicine
