Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to: - understand and to interpret bases of cell biology and molecular biology and genetics - interpret a substance of genetic code – redundance, universality, cause of gene transcription and translation - explain nucleosome structure of chromosome - explein mutations and effect of mutations - describe the cell cycle - explain the use of knowledge about the cell cycle in cancer treatment. pharmacogenetics, organ transplantation - interpret therms: telomere, appoptosis, necrosis, cell death.
Syllabus
  • Expression of genetic information – model tasks. Molecular base of genetic, chromosome and genome mutations. News from molecular genetics: human genes for sports performance, for issue of pathological addictions leading to obesity, etc. Types of cells and tissues. Cell in light and electron microscope. Investigation and drawings of chosen histological sections. Fluorescent microscopy – principle, application. Direct and indirect fluorescence. Immunofluorescence. Visualization of microtubules and actin microfilaments by use of fluorescent microscopy. Demonstration of chromosome aberrations by use of fluorescent methods. Types of communication between a cell and a virus. Cell necrosis, cell apoptosis. Destiny of cells in multicellular (human) organism. Demonstrations of practical application of a video during lessons in primary schools with the aim to solve some chosen simple exercises from cytology.

Teaching methods
The whole course is finished by an oral exam consisting of two parts: a) practical part – a student solves and defends a particular genetic model example which he/she has selected from a topic list of 95 items, b) theoretical part– a student answers and explains two theoretical topics from general genetics which he/she has selected from 40 double topics list.
