Course content
|
Subject evolves students´ knowledge from previous genetic disciplines. It goes out from studium of genetics on molecular, cell and individual level and evolves knowledge on highest level - population genetics. In decidingrate,contentis focused on study of qualitative and quantitative traits parameters in populations, including genetically conditional diseases.

Learning outcomes
|
To evolve existing students´ genetic knowledge in population genetics patterns and to create professional skills of school leavers for realization of population genetic analyses of qualitative and quantitative traits.
Genetics of qualitative traits. Genotype and gene frequencies. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Genetics of quantitative traits. Genetic parameters of populations. The analysis of phenotype variance. Repeatability, heritability, phenotypic and genotypic correlations. Inbreeding. Population genetics in breeding.
