This unit provides an introduction to the disciplines of genetics and evolutionary biology. The main aim is to promote an understanding of fundamental genetic concepts and evolutionary processes and their implications for those studying the biological sciences. Activities will emphasise the development of analytical and problem-solving skills. Topics include: cytogenetics, patterns of inheritance, population genetics, quantitative genetics, microevolution, speciation, and macroevolution. The unit will also examine some of the practical applications of genetic and evolutionary data.
