| Course Contents |
| If there isn’t any evolutionary approach to the science of biology,it isn’t possible to understand for us most of the reasons of biological mechanisms,distribution of species and biodiversity. In this course, the basics of micro evolution and macro evolution will be explained. The emergence of life,separetion of species and causes of their distribution on the world will be discussed. The emergence of meiosis,the base of molecular evolution will be explained. Changes in allele frequency in the context of population genetic,mechanism of speciation will be teach. |
