Learning outcomes - knowledge
(in Polish) W1. Has basic knowledge about the history of life and evolutionary mechanisms (K_W07, K_W0715, P1AW_01, P1AW_04), P1AW_05, P1AW_08)
W2. Characterises the mechanisms of inheritance and explains the relation between DNA structure and DNA replication, and between DNA structure and inheritance (K_W01, K_W02, K_W10)
W3. Explains the relations between genotype and phenotype and the role of environment in shaping the phenotype of an organism (K_W02, K_W11)
W4. Provides knowledge about population genetics and explains what factors affect population equilibrium (K_W06, K_W16)
Learning outcomes - skills
(in Polish) U1. Is able to use his knowledge on the evolution of life to correctly assess and interpret morphological and molecular features (K_U12, P1AU_07, P1AU_08, P1AU_09)
U2. Explains evolutionary and molecular processes with respect to structure and functioning of ecological systems (K_W03, P2AW_01, P2AW_03)
U3. Concludes heredity patterns from data obtained (K_U14)
