VPP 3140 : Veterinary Genetics
Learning Activities :
1. Basic concept of inheritance – chromosome, gene and gene inheritance at 1 locus (monohybrid crossing)
2. Role of genetics in livestock production
3. Identify the genotypes from the crossing of monohybrid crosses
4. Gene inheritance at 2 loci (dihybrid crossing)
5. Type of inheritance – trait/character, dominance and gene interaction
6. Identify the genotypes from the crossing of dihybrid crosses
7. Gene action and sex linked inheritance
8. Multiple alleles, penetrance, expressivity and lethal genes
9. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
10. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and when conditions are not met
