In Eukaryotic genome organisation we will cover how DNA is compacted into chromosomes and how this affects gene function. We will examine chromosomal re-arrangements and changes in chromosomal number and see how this can affects the phenotype of an organism. In Extra-nuclear inheritance we will look at genome organisation in mitochondria and chloroplasts, the origin of extra-nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA inheritance and mitochondrial diseases. In Evolutionary genetics we will see how mi...
