Students will: 

CO 10: Analyse the functioning of  nucleus and extra nuclear  organelles and understand the  intricate cellular mechanisms  involved.  

CO 11: Develop an  understanding how cells work in  healthy and diseased states and  to give a ‘health forecast’ by  analyzing the genetic database  and cell information. 

CO 12: Investigate the  importance of the nucleus and its  components. 

CO 13: Perceive detailed  knowledge about the process of  cell division and its regulatory  checkpoints. 

CO 14: Examine the three  primary components of the cell’s  cytoskeleton and how they affect  cell shape, function, and  movement.
