Course content
Seminar topics: 1. Cell, nucleus, chromosomes, DNA structure and function. 2. Basic processes in the DNA molecule (replication, transcription, translation). 3. Basic knowledge and names from the history of genetics (Ch. Darwin, J. G. Mendel, J. Watson and F. Crick). 4. Transferring a character to a subgeneration and computing it. The effect of heritability. 5. - 6. Genome and DNA, gene and allele. 7. The emergence of mutations (negative / positive effect), SNP, or mosaicism. 8. Epigenetics. Replacing the genome. 9. Working with foreign publications, finding and obtaining necessary data. 10. Genetic assumptions affecting sports performance. 11. - 13. Interests in genetics. 14.

Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic knowledge and laws of the hereditary information. During the course the students will get acquainted with basic and key concepts in the field of molecular biology, which have an important role in human life. Penetrating information from generation to generation will penetrate the mechanisms of transmission. They look into the molecular structure of DNA, the possibility of mutations and subsequent diseases. The seminars will also include reflection on the use of genetics knowledge in sports preparation (positives, negatives, ethics). In the seminars the active approach of the student will be given priority in the form of illustrative exercises, multimedia presentations and the elaboration of assigned tasks.
Not required.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of cell construction and function of basic cellular processes.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Active participation of the student at the seminars. Elaboration of assigned tasks.
