Course content
The course is devoted to basic information about the population as a genetic-evolutionary unit, shows its place in the system of species and biocenosis. Regularities of inheritance at the population level are revealed. Genetic variability and polymorphism of populations are characterized, sources of their formation are revealed. Particular attention is paid to genetic processes in the emergence of new species.
