Master Introductory Genetics – Notes, Case Studies & Practical Insights

About Course

This comprehensive course on Introductory Genetics provides Agriculture and Veterinary students with detailed notes, practical case studies, and applied insights to understand fundamental genetic principles, inheritance patterns, and molecular mechanisms in plants and animals. Designed for exam preparation and real-world application, it offers research-backed examples and step-by-step guidance to enhance understanding and practical skills – all taught by Rahul.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
✅ Understand the fundamental principles of genetics.
✅ Explain Mendelian laws of inheritance and their applications.
✅ Describe DNA structure, replication, and gene expression.
✅ Analyze genetic variation and its role in evolution.
✅ Apply genetic concepts to real-world agricultural and biological scenarios.
