| Learning outcomes |
|
The course develops the knowledge gained in the study of Genetics I and brings knowledge from the genetics of populations in connection with the application in breeding and breeding practice.
Knowledge of population genetics. Biochemic genetics, genetics of economic important traits, health genetics. Acquired knowledge is fundamental for subsequent study of animal and plant breeding. |
