Description
Welcome to “Basics of Genetics,” an all-encompassing Udemy course meticulously crafted to offer a lucid and accessible introduction to the core principles of genetics. Within this course, we embark on a captivating exploration of the revolutionary laws of genetics pioneered by Gregor Mendel. The journey includes unraveling the intricate principles of inheritance and delving into the transformative capabilities of Punnett squares for accurately predicting genetic outcomes. Participants will develop a profound understanding of life’s fundamental building blocks—alleles, genes, and the remarkable DNA structure—facilitated by engaging visualizations and practical examples.Venturing into the domain of genetic disorders, we meticulously investigate their origins and real-world ramifications. Throughout the course, interactive assignments are strategically integrated to augment your learning experience, providing dynamic opportunities for application and reinforcement of acquired knowledge. Join us on this enlightening journey as we demystify the complexities of genetics, providing participants with the key to unlock the enigmatic secrets embedded in our DNA. Enroll now to partake in this enthralling exploration of the fundamental principles governing our genetic makeup and gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate world of genetics. Taught by a qualified biologist and geneticist, Amy, it is aimed at individuals that want a quick recap or introduction to genetics.
