In addition, these criteria will evaluate the student's ability to operate the connections among different topics. |
| Course unit contents: | General considerations on living organisms. Molecules and macromolecules of biological interest. The cell: morphology, organization, physiology and metabolism. Protein synthesis and its meaning. Types of cell division. Mendel and the gene idea. The chromosomal and molecular basis of heredity. |
| Planned learning activities and teaching methods: | The teacher will expose the subjects taking care to emphasize and clarify essential aspects and mutual connections. Active role of the students is encouraged during the course. |
