This is a foundation course for all first year students taking biology-related (biology), and veterinary sciences. It’s a convergence discipline in biological sciences. As captured by the title, its general in scope, because it introduces well grounded in biological heredity but can confidently apply this knowledge qualitative or Mendelian genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular genetics, and populations genetics. At the conclusion ofthis course you will not only be and skills gained in related subsequent courses like plant/animal breeding, disciplines, agricultural sciences, natural resources, biochemistry, science students to the major sub-disciplines of genetics, namely cytogenetics, molecular genetics, and recombinant DNA technology, among others.
