Cell Biology  &

Genetics I

The students will -

CO5: Differentiate the 

structures and purpose of  basic components of  prokaryotic and eukaryotic  cells, especially 

macromolecules, 

membranes, and organelles.  CO6: Relate the structure,  function and composition of  the plasma membrane.

CO7: Conceptualize the  importance of nucleus and its  components and process of  cell division

CO8: Judge how the  endoplasmic reticulum and  golgi apparatus interact with  one another and participate  in molecular trafficking in  the cell.

CO9: Assemble detailed  knowledge about the patterns  of Mendelian inheritance and  interactions of Genes and  their expressions.

CO10: Compare the role of  crossing over and linkage in  heredity and cytoplasmic  inheritance.
