Course contents
Learning Unit 1. Animal eukaryotic cell: the morpho-functional unit of Earth’s life and of the interaction of livings with environment.
- The molecules of cells: macromolecules and emerging properties of life.
- The animal eukaryotic cell: form and functions to respond efficiently to environmental changes and external signalling. The cell endomembrane system: composition and functions for intra- and inter-cellular communication. Cell comparts and organs: organization and functions of nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi’s apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria, cytoplasme, cytoskeleton; cell junctions and extracellular matrix.
- The fundamental functions of life and of the interaction of livings with environment: RNA transcription, protein translation; membrane receptors, membrane transports; negative and positive feedback control mechanisms.
Learning Unit 2. Diversity of animal life: mechanisms of inheritance and evolution.
- Diversity of livings: domains, realms and animal phyla
- Molecular and cellular processes generating the living diversity: DNA replication; mutations: single nucleotide polymorphisms; cellular division and differentiation; control mechanisms of cell division; mitosis, cell proliferation, cloning; meiosis, genetic diversity, evolution; somatic and germinal cellular lines; life cycles. Sexual, asexual and unisexual reproduction.
- Gene, chromosomal and genomic mutations: origin and impacts.
- Genetics and inheritance: definition of gene, allele, trait, genotype and phenotype; simple models of inheritance: Mendelian genetics. Deviations from Mendelian inheritance: dominance, incomplete dominance and co- dominance; multiple alleles; gene interaction and epistasis; quantitative genetics; pleiotropy. Molecular bases of inheritance: sex-linked inheritance, gene linkage; genetic maps; genomic imprinting.
