Spring teaching

This module aims to provide you with a grounding in genetics, in terms of concepts, problem solving and appreciation of the theories behind the concepts. You will complete two problem based exercises, allowing development of skills and increased confidence in solving genetics problems.

Topics will include: Mendelian inheritance; monohybrid and dihybrid crosses; mutations and consequences; X linkage; codominance; principles of population genetics; Hardy-Weinberg equation; recombination.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2023/24. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
