Overview
This Biology - Genetics and DNA course offered by CQUniversity Australia introduces fundamental biological concepts related to the transmission and expression of biological information within living organisms. Students explore the structure and function of nucleic acids, the organisation of genetic material, and the molecular processes involved in replication and protein synthesis. The course examines how biological instructions are maintained and passed between generations while providing an introduction to the principles that govern inheritance.
Key Facts
The course also investigates cellular reproduction and developmental processes through the study of mitosis, meiosis, tissue formation, and organismal development. Learners examine patterns of inheritance using genetic prediction tools and study the differentiation of germ layers and major tissue types in humans and plants. As part of the Biology Essentials micro-credential series, the course provides essential knowledge for further study of biological systems and life sciences.
