Molecular Genetics: Techniques and Human Implications

This examination concentrates on the principles of molecular genetics, particularly techniques used to study genetic material and their implications for human health. Key methodologies will be reviewed.

The significance of molecular genetics in advancing our understanding of genetic diseases cannot be overstated. Techniques in this field facilitate the identification of genetic alterations that contribute to health and disease.

Participants will articulate key molecular techniques, including PCR and DNA sequencing, and discuss their applications in identifying genetic disorders and advancing treatment options.

Moreover, students should be prepared to discuss the ethical implications of these techniques within the context of genetic screening and diagnostics.
