This course introduces students to the core principles of genetics, providing a foundational understanding of how traits are inherited and how genetic material influences biological processes. Topics include Mendelian inheritance, the structure and function of DNA, gene expression, genetic variation, and the role of genetics in evolution. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, and real-world applications, students will explore both classical and modern genetics, learning to analyze genetic data, understand genetic disorders, and appreciate the ethical implications of genetic research. Whether you're preparing for advanced studies or just curious about the science of heredity, this course will equip you with the essential knowledge of genetics to understand the blueprint of life.
