Cell Biology and Genetics provides us with an introduction to the field of cells and the basics of understanding the structure, functions, and role of each organelle or part, present in different organisms. It provides us with the basics of genetics, starting with Mendel’s concepts and laws and their derivation from these concepts, which would help them understand the concepts of molecular biology and other subjects related to genetics. This provides us with an idea regarding chromosomes and their features, along with various concepts and applications of genetics and biostatistics in genetics to understand the evolution of this field.

The main objective is to make students attain knowledge on types, structures and functions of fundamental biomolecules and their crucial role in biological system.


Course Summary

The course links biology to medicine, mathematics and physics together, and earth sciences to the environment. Therefore, knowing the nature of chemicals and chemical processes gives insights into many different physical and biological phenomena. In this course the physico-chemical properties of organic and inorganic compounds is studied to build a base for understanding the universe around humans.


This Course includes an interdisciplinary core topic which encourages students to explore the social, aesthetic, ethical, scientific, and technical aspects of environmental issues that allow students to approach these questions with more focused knowledge and methodological tools as a community-engaged research course.
