Introductory Cell Biology
and Genetics
Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry
Department of Biosciences
Solomon Mahlangu College of Science and Education
Room 16
, Introductory Cell Biology and Genetics
Course objectives
• Display an understanding of basic cell structures and an
awareness of different cell types
• Relate the structure and activities of cell components to
their functions and to cellular activities as a whole
• Differentiate the roles played by reproductive cells from
somatic cells and to differentiate mitosis from meiosis
• Apply the concepts of Mendelian genetics to solve
problems regarding the inheritance patterns of animals,
fungi, and plants
,• Create genetic maps; map distances between genes or
mutations in individuals
• Use pedigree trees to solve pedigree analysis problems.
• Analyse the structure of DNA, from the level of entire
chromosomes to individual molecules
• Relate the structure of DNA to function; specifically in
replication, expression of genes, recombination, repair,
and mutation
• Evaluate the mechanisms of transmitting characters in
their varied states to future generations the core in all
biological systems
