| Course description |
| This lecture at first go over Biology learned in high school, and all students in Department of Biotechnology and Life Science are equiped with the besic knowledge for future advance lectures concerning to biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, biotechnology. The lectures are focused both in the range of molecules, cells and organisms and in that of regulatory mechanism of genes, cell division and development, reproduction, formation of animal and plant tissues and organs. |
