Objectives of the Course

To teach the students variable and heredity events of creatures, mechanisms effected in the occurence of these events, how the characteristics of creatures transfer from generation to generation. To teach the construction of genetic matter, gene and chromosomes, the relationship between gene, mechanisms of hereditary problem and diseases, hereditary problems and diseases of livestock animals, mutations.

Course Content

Genetic matter, the construction and functions of DNA. Morphological construction of chromosomes, Gene types and inheritance of these, Interactions between allel genes, mutations, hereditary problem and disease of livestock animals.

Prof. Hayriye Değer ORAL TOPLU

Learning Outcomes

1.	To be able to know how to form the characteristics of creatures so as to be able to teach phenotype, genotype and environmental concepts.
2.	To be able to reason about variation in creatures so as to be able to teach variation and variation resources, variation types
3.	To be able to learn heredity concept and Mendel’s genetic and know how to transfer the characteristics from generation to generation.
4.	To be able to easily understand likeness and differences in creatures so as to be able to teach the construction and functions of DNA and RNA, gene, genetic code and chromosome.
5.	To be able to reason about hereditary problems and diseases of livestock so as to be able to teach mutation, the mechanism of the mutations and mutation types
6.	To be able to have knowledge about breed determination, parents tests and determination of blood group.
7.	To be able to have knowledge about basic animal genetic to use in the studies related to animal breeding
