Objective of Course :
The main objective is to make students attain knowledge on types, structures and functions of fundamental bio-molecules and their crucial role in biological system.
Learning Outcomes:
On completion of the course the student will be able to do the following:
CO1. Learn the elements present in bio-molecules and the different monomers and polymers.
CO2. Explain the role of water in synthesis and breakdown of polymers.
CO3. List the four major complex bio-molecules found in living cells, three of which are found on
food labels and the basis for grouping of bio-molecules into those four groups.
CO4. For each group of bio-molecules learn the name of its generic monomer (simple unit) and
polymer (complex structure) and their function.
CO5. Identify their chemical elements and the difference between simple sugars and complex
carbohydrates. On the food labels, what do sugar or sugar alcohol, and fiber refer to?
CO6. Summarize the function of proteins and recognize the importance of the three dimensional
shape of a protein on its function and the role of non-covalent bonds in maintaining the
shape of a protein.
CO7. Compare and contrast saturated, mono-unsaturated, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids.
CO8. Explain the importance of poly-unsaturated fatty acids and why omega-3 and omega-6
fatty acids are considered essential. List sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Course Summary
Cell Biology and Genetics provides us the introduction to the field of cell and basics of understanding the structure, functions, role of each organelle/ parts, present in the different organisms. It provides us the basics of Genetics starting with the Mendel’s concept and laws and their derivation from these concepts which would help them to understand the concepts of molecular biology and other subjects related to Genetics. This provides us an idea regarding the Chromosomes and their features with various concepts and application of Genetics and biostatistics in Genetics to understand the evolution of this field. With the Practical application of Cell biology and Genetics during their practical sessions would help the student to understand the concepts in details with the view of making them learn the basics in detail.
Course Objectives
- To understand the basics of cell, their structure, function in various organism like bacteria, fungi, plant and animal.
- To understand the ultrastructure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes with the Cell cycle leading to mitosis and meiosis and their functions.
- To understand the basics and concepts of Genetics with Mendelian laws.
- To understand the concepts of alleleism, chromosome and chromosomal deviation, recombination and statistical application in Genetics\
Course Outcomes
CO 1: Students will be able to understand about the basics of cell
CO 2: They would learn in detail about the cell structure and functions in various organisms like bacteria, fungi, plant and animal.
CO 3: They would also understand about the ultrastructure of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
CO 4: It will help them to understand the cell cycle and able to learn the Mitosis and Meiosis with their role in the normal functioning of the organism
CO 5: Students will be able to understand the basic principles of Genetics and its understanding with the help of Mendel’s experiments.
CO 6: Students will be able to explain the concepts related to Mendel’s Genetics and would also learn about the chromosomal derivations and the concept of alleleism
CO 7: Students will be able to describe the linkage and recombination.
CO 8: They would also learn about the extension to Mendel’s laws of Genetics and their applications in various studies using statistical applications
