Course content
The discipline is a basic discipline that covers the activities and functioning of IHE, which occur at all stages of formation and development of living organisms. The course is designed to generalize the student's IHE ideas of different biological objects of different levels of organization, as well as provide students with the ability to plan skills and conduct experimental work using different methods and techniques to solve specific scientific and practical problems, statistical processing of data and interpretation of results. experiment (both obtained by hand and provided by scientific laboratories and / or published in the scientific literature).
