| Unit Description |
This unit provides an understanding of major evolutionary phenomena from a genetic point of view and can be useful for a variety of degrees. It includes major topics of modern evolutionary genetics, like population genetics, molecular evolution, genetics of speciation, the reconstruction of phylogeny. A section is devoted to genetics of small populations, conservation and biodiversity. Computer workshops and laboratory works contribute significantly to comprehension of the genetic basis of evolutionary processes and genetic conservation issues. |
