Course Objectives

a) To educate the student on the critical method and discussion through the description of experiments, heritage of the history of biology and genetics. b) To provide the student with a balanced and antidogmatic view of living beings, in which common morpho-functional characteristics, their interactions and complementarities are outlined, from viruses to man. c) To introduce the student to the techniques of biology and genetics, currently used in clinical practice, molecular diagnostics and forensic medicine.

Assessment Methods

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 questions asked and the adequacy of the language, at the end a vote will be attributed expressed in thirtieths.

Texts

Solomon et al, Fondamenti di Biologia, EdiSeS Editore, VII edizione.

The program of the Applied Biology module provides the description of: - The organization of the cells; - The biological macromolecules; - The structure of biological membranes and cell-environment interactions; - The processes of mitosis, meiosis, duration of the phases and regulation of the cell cycle; - The general characteristics of the 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; - The general characteristics of the RNA, knowing how to describe the flow of information within the cell, demonstrating that it understood the mechanisms of Transcription, of the Genetic Code, of the Protein Synthesis; - The regulation of Gene Expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; - Asexual and sexual reproduction.
