Objectives

BIOLOGY
Describe the general features of biological macromolecules and the organization and function of DNA; To illustrate the organization of the cell and of its fundamental processes (replication, transcription and translation of genetic material, mitosis and meiosis); Place the eukaryotic cell organization in the context of evolutionary history.
Acquire concepts, essential cell knowledge as the basis of the elementary organization of life, molecular structure and the features of informational biological macromolecules, through an experimental approach aimed at developing scientific rigor and formulating hypotheses.

CYTOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY :

Acquisition and understanding of the methods and means of histological investigation.
Knowledge of the main functions and cellular components. understanding and
acquisition of fundamental knowledge on the structural organization and function of human tissues.
