Contents

describe the organization of cells;
- biological macromolecules
- illustrating the structure of biological membranes and cell-environment interactions;
The program of the Applied Biology module provides

- describe the processes of mitosis, meiosis, duration of the phases and regulation of the cell cycle;
- structure of the Nucleic Acids structure, illustrating the general characteristics of DNA.
Describe the flow of genetic information from one cell generation to another and describe DNA replication and repair. Describe the various levels of DNA organization in the cell. To illustrate the organization of the genome and of the extracellular DNA;
- to illustrate the general characteristics of the RNA, knowing how to describe the flow of information within the cell, demonstrating that it understood the problems of transcription, of the Genetic Code, of the Protein Synthesis;
- regulation of Gene Expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
- asexual and sexual reproduction. Spermatogenesis. Oogenesis. fertilization
- cellular communication

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The evaluation of the student includes an oral exam, which will serve to demonstrate the knowledge of the program carried out, the logic followed by the student in the resolution of the queries posed and the adequacy of the language, at the end a vote expressed in thirtieths will be attributed.
