The goal of this course is to explain a molecular basis of life and describe the cell as a basic unit of life. Student will explore the historical aspects of discoveries leading to our current knowledge in molecular and cellular biology and then the focus will be given to connections between molecular and cellular biology including bioenergetics, genetics and development, molecular and hereditary aspects of evolution and Evo/Devo. Most of the course will be built up on genes and their functioning within the context of the cell and the whole organism, ultimately leading to diversity of life and evolution.
