This course will enable the students to

  1. Develop an understanding of the structure and functions of basic components of prokaryotic architecture and eukaryotic cells and their organelles.
  2. Analyzing comprehensive knowledge about an overview of cell theory, role of membrane in transport of molecules across the cell and how these cellular components are used to generate and utilize energy in cells.
  3.  Distinguish between the process of cell division in somatic and germ cells.
  4. Develop understanding of Mendelian inheritance patterns & laws of heredity, Interactions of Genes and their expressions, process of crossing over and linkage in genes etc.
