Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to understand the basic mechanisms of evolution and the basics of phylogenetics, and to master a basic overview of the diversity of viruses and prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Since this subject is taught in parallel with other courses, namely Cell Biology and Genetics, Biology of the Organism, and Ecology and Environmental Protection, students will understand the connections of individual biological phenomena at the level of molecules, organisms, species and ecosystems.
