Objectives of the Course
The structures of molecules such as DNA, nucleic acids, chromosomes will be examined, the organization of these functional structures in cell divisions, central dogma (transcription, translation) molecular genetics, recombinant DNA technology, mutation-polymorphisms, examples of the mechanism of cancer and various genetic diseases that occur as a result of mutations. It is aimed to provide students with information on RNA biology, genetic testing and counseling, and the latest current issues in genetics.

Learning Outcomes PO MME
The students who succeeded in this course:
LO-1 To be able to define DNA, chromosomes and nucleic acids, knows how these structures are organized in DNA replication and cell division. PO-2 Based on scientific foundations, it conducts and publishes research for the solution of health problems and professional development.
Examination
Performance Project
LO-2 Learns the genetics of cancer, cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, Marfan syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Turner, Klinefelter, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, ALS, Down Syndrome, Huntington, SMA, Tay-Sachs diseases. PO-1 Uses the knowledge, skills and attitude gained while giving care in cases ranging from birth to death, from health to illness, in line with professional professional criteria.
Examination
Performance Project
LO-3 Gains knowledge about genetic testing, genetic counseling, RNA biology. PO-12 Coordinates the necessary nursing services to protect and improve the health of the individual/family/community and to help them regain their health.
