Course Content

Genetic definition of biotechnology, fields, importance, influence our lives and a brief overview of historical development. Birth of Modern Science of Genetics: Mendel theory, dominance, codominance, multiple alllelism the cross and deviations from Mendel theory. Sitoplazmik heredity, mutation. Molecular Biology. Gene Technology: Molecular Genetics. Human genetics and genetic diseases. Gene engineering and technology to provide the community facilities on science. Principles of biotechnology: microorganisms metabolism, plant-animal cell culture, fermentation, and fermentation technology, biotechnological basic operations. Biotechnological applications: Microbial biomass production (bread yeast, single cell protein), production of primary metabolites (citric acid, fumarik acid, acetic acid, amino acids, vitamins), yeast (alcohol by yeast, lactic acid production, bütirik acid, butanol, acetone), secondary metabolite production (antibiotics), enzyme production, gene biotechnology, environmental biotechnology. History of evolution biology;terms of evolution biology;the mechanisms of evolution:mutation, genetic drift, natural selection;macroevolution mechanisms: adaptation,speciation; history of life: pedigrees, fossil explorations; the first evolution of life in the world, the history of life, major evolutionary changes; applications of evolutionary biology: open and closed ended experiments on these topics.
