To introduce the students basic models of population genetics, to inform about computer programs used for population genetics, to provide interpret results and to analyze by integrating computer programs with population genetics models by using data set of students.

| Prof. Seda ÖRENAY BOYACIOĞLU |
| 1. | To learn genetic factors like mutation, migration and selection that contributes to genetic differentiations within a population and among populations |
| 2. | To learn heterozygosity and Hardy-Weinberg unequilibrium |
| 3. | To learn population structure |
| 4. | To learn to gene fixation and gen flow among populations |
| 5. | To learn to use population genetic programs |
| 6. | To interpret about the population by detecting/calculating effect to population of environmental and external influences with interacting organisms, population demography on the sample data by using computer programs |
| 7. | To plan future studies on any organisms |
