Course description
This course provides the opportunity to learn what nucleic acids and protein are and how these molecules regulate gene replication, transcription and translation to proteins, from the viewpoint of the basic principle of self-replication and life maintenance of the life. Learners also study the basics of gene recombination and gene analysis techniques on the basis of the basic principle of molecular biology.
Expected Learning
Learner are expected to learn basic knowledges to understand phenomena of the life at molecular levels, and describe these with technical terms by themselves. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma policy:
