Learning outcomes: Knowledge: W1 - knows the basic laws of classical genetics (Mendelian) [BI_W01, BI_W04, BI_W08, BI_W09, BI_W11, BI_W12]; W2 - have basic knowledge of molecular genetics, cytogenetics, genetics of the forming process of gender and genetic disorders of this process, as well as in the basics of population genetics and quantitative traits [BI_W01, BI_W04, BI_W08, BI_W09, BI_W11, BI_W12]. Skills: U1 - distinguish the most common group of genetic traits, including the various pathologies, such as: types of chromosome aberrations, monogenic inherited disorders, as well as quantitative polygenic traits (multifactorial) and polygenic qualitative [BI_U02, BI_U09].

Competences: Personal and social competences (attitudes and behaviors): K1 - student consciously shaping their collegial relationships through networking cooperation for the realization of personal goals related to education [BI_K02].

Prerequisites: Biochemistry, chemistry, zoology

Assessment methods: Assessment exercises: written tests to assess the current rating (based on oral statements) progress and activity. The presence of the exercises is compulsory, the student may have only one unauthorized absence. In the case of excused absences the student is required to pass the relevant part of the material. Completion of exercises based on the average ratings. Completion of the course: student who has completed the exercise, effective written examination, during which you should answer
