🧬 Genetics: Syllabus & Course Map

Explain how hereditary differences are transmitted through individuals, chromosomes, organelles, and populations, and how to read that transmission in a pedigree or a quantitative trait when a designed cross is not available.

Core Learning Outcomes & Competencies

Upon mastery of this comprehensive syllabus, students and researchers are expected to:

✓ Predict monohybrid and dihybrid ratios from segregation and independent assortment, apply the product and sum rules, and interpret a chi-square goodness-of-fit test and its p value.

✓ Modify those ratios for incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, lethal alleles, epistasis, incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, phenocopies, and sex-limited or sex-influenced expression.

✓ Compare XY, XO, ZW, and haplodiploid sex determination, solve an X-linked cross, and explain mammalian dosage compensation.

✓ Deduce gene order and map distances from a three-point testcross, including double crossovers and interference.

✓ Describe polyploidy, aneuploidy, inversions, and reciprocal translocations, including recombinant chromatids and the *BCR–ABL1* fusion.

✓ Explain conjugation, transformation, transduction, and a complementation test, and state what bacterial haploidy makes experimentally direct.

✓ Classify mutations by molecular and functional effect, state the principle of the Ames test and of trinucleotide-repeat expansion, and separate cytoplasmic inheritance from a maternal-effect gene.

✓ Calculate Hardy–Weinberg and carrier frequencies, describe the forces that change allele frequencies, use narrow-sense heritability and *R* = *h*²*S* without overclaiming them, and compute a conditional Mendelian risk from a pedigree.
