The course is aimed at the practical application of principles of general genetics. Students will test their knowledge of these principles on examples from plant, animal and human genetics. The course covers e.g. various kinds of intra- and interallelic interactions important for genetic determination of plant and animal pigmentation; abnormalities in genetic sex-determination; inheritance of important human diseases; the calculation of the coefficient of inbreeding, etc. Students which want to attend this course must previously go through Genetics lecture (B140P15)

Please note, the lectures are given in czech language only.

During the course, students will solve various complex problems concerning the genetic analysis of flower or seed pigmentation in plants (model organisms: Salvia splendens, Zea mays), coat pigmentation in animals (model organism: Felis domestica), genetic diseases in humans, and will undergo basic training in cytogenetical methods (model organisms: Allium cepa, Homo sapiens). The course is given only in Czech language.

1. Intragenic interactions (complete and incomplete dominance, codominance, lethality, decreased vitality, multiple allelism, complex loci).

2. Intergenic interactions (dominant and recessive epistasis, complementarity, reciprocal interaction, multiplicity), genocopy, phenocopy.

3. Gene linkage and genetic mapping (linkage phase, triple-point test, crossing-over).

4. Sex-linked inheritance (sex chromosomes, genotypic and genic sex determination, lyonisation, abnormal combinations of sex chromosomes).

5. Cytogenetics (structure of chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis).

6. Mutations (dominant - recessive, gene - chromosome - genome, letal - vital, nuclear - extranuclear, somatic - gametic).

7. Population genetics (Hardy-Weinberg law, changes in allelic and genotype frequencies of populations, inbreeding).

8. Human genetics and counselling (genealogical analysis, risk of inheriting of genetic diseases, autosomal/gonosomal dominant/recessive diseases in humans, human karyotype analysis).
