Course Objective


The aim of this course is Basic rules of Medical Biology and Genetics, living chemistry, biological molecules, their structures and functions, cell structure and to teach organelles, diseases related to these organelles, DNA replication, transcription and RNA
processing, translation and posttranslational modifications, DNA mutations and repair mechanisms. Cell division and control, cancer genetics, Mendelian inheritance in humans, non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, cellular energy and metabolism, mitochondrial genome, mitochondrial diseases, chromosomal abnormalities, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, information on human genetics, genetic diseases and diversity, bacterial and viral viral genetics, DNA technologies and to ensure that all this information can be used in the field of Dentistry.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Outlines the structure and biochemical features of nucleic acids.
2   Knows basic medical concepts can relate the concepts
3   Knows the potential of biological molecules to be used in dentistry and can follow the latest on the subject.
4   Describe in detail the processes of replication, transcription, post-transcriptional RNA processing and translation in eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
5   Knows the structure, types and organelles of cells. Recognizes diseases related to organelles and relates them to formation mechanisms.
6   Describes the processes that transforms a polypeptide chain in to a functional protein (post-translational modifications, protein folding, protein targeting, protein degradation ect.)
7   Knows and repeats the genetic regulation mechanisms in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
8   Outlines genetic recombination mechanisms.
9   Knows Mendelian genetics in humans and establishes a situation relationship.
10   Knows inheritance patterns that do not comply with Mendelian rules, relates molecular mechanisms of related diseases.
11   Recognizes chromosomal diseases and explains the formation mechanism
12   Relates cancer and its molecular mechanisms
13   Describes the cell skeleton and its role in cell motility & mobility
14   Explains features of the cell surface
16   Knows the factors that cause diseases and the genetics of these factors
17   Knows human genetics
18   Identify, correctly hypothesize and solve problems in medical biology and genetics
19   Able to work in an interdisciplinary team
