Learning outcomes: Knowledge: student knows the basic rights and issues of the basics of genetics, including cytogenetics, immunogenetics, genetics of the process of forming gender, development genetics, population genetics and quantitative traits. Skills: student is able to explain and analyze the phenomenon of classical (Mendelian) genetics and heredity issues (also in the features of linked and related to the sex), and autosomal-linked traits; student is able to correctly interpret the distribution of variability of quantitative and qualitative, and deduce conclusions; student is able to recognize and identify the type of chromosomal aberrations in microscopic cytogenetic analysis.

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 the questions presented in the form of problems to solve. If the exam you will fail in the first period, the student has the right to take it again in the second period.
