• Appreciate the nature of interactions between genes and the influence of gene interaction on inheritance patterns. • Prepare and distinguish Gram +ve and Gram –ve bacteria. • Begin to develop lab skills in DNA isolation from plant • Be able to understand the different pathogens causing infection and hence know what is infection control strategies in clinics and hospitals.

Basic microbiolgy (viruses , basic structure - replications - classifications of bacteria). Plant physiolgy (enzymes and enzme kinetics) systematic botany (organizations of prokaryotic and eukaryotics plant cells -characteristic features, fungal , algal , non vascular and vascular plant)

Course outcomes:

a. Knowledge and Understanding:
	1- Explore the system of classification of plants bacteria and fungi.. 2- Familiarize the students with the general characteristics of microorganisms. 3- Describe the general characteristics of viruses and the different methods of infection and multiplication. 4- Introduce students to the fundamentals of molecular genetics. 5- Explore the DNA structure and replication. 6- Understand the different concepts of plant genetics. 7- Be able to discuss the molecular aspects of chromosome and gene structure, how genes are replicated, expressed and regulated. 8- Appreciate the nature of interactions between genes and the influence of gene interaction on inheritance patterns. 9- Prepare students for heredity diseases in advanced levels.
b. Intellectual Skills:
	1- Use the library and internet resources to develop independent study skills through assignments. 2- Distinguish between organic and genetically modified organisms through case studies and debates 3- Prepare and distinguish Gram +ve and Gram –ve bacteria. 4- Identify different fungi microscopically 5- Virus detection by haemagglutination tests
c. Professional and Practical Skills:
	1- Identify cell structure of the plant. 2- Begin to develop lab skills in DNA isolation from plant 3- Distinguish the microbial pathogens 4- Develop an informed interest in matters of scientific importance and recognize the usefulness, and limitations, of the advances in genetics research. 5- Conduct experiments and be able to write a report
d. General and Transferable Skills:
	1- Apply the genetics study in other medicinal disciplines and be stimulated for studies related to the course beyond this introductory level. 2- Apply the study of systematics (bacteria, fungi and viruses) to identify the pathogenic forms. 3- Be able to understand the different pathogens causing infection and hence know what is infection control strategies in clinics and hospitals.
