The aim of the course:
To learn the basic principles of biology and to gain a clear view of the livings.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : understand the basic features of the cell, namely cellular hierarchy, metabolism, cell division, cell growth, growth and development.1,81,
LO - 2 : Understand inheritance and its principles.1,81,
LO - 3 : understands the structure and replication of DNA and protein synthesis, and will therefore have knowledge of inheritance.1,81,
LO - 4 : Understand biotechnological concepts and diversity of living things Understand biotechnological concepts and diversity of living things1,81,
