Content
By the end of this course unit, students are able to:
- Understand the principles of the evolution of life and the underlying genetic mechanisms.
- Understand how these principles were shaped over time through theories of evolution, and how our current knowledge consolidates Darwinian evolutionary theory.
- Master the principles of taxonomy.
- Interpret phylogenetic trees.
- Present the scenarios envisaged for the appearance of life.
- Master the principle of the experimental approach in biology, which aims to test a hypothesis through experimentation.
- Understand the scientific logic underlying the production of biological knowledge.
- Link theoretical concepts in biology to the experimental methods that made it possible to demonstrate them.
- Master the principles of analysis and interpretation of experimental results in biology.
- Origin of the concept of evolution based on observations
- Darwinian theory of evolution, factors of evolution, and evolution of genomes
- Principles of phylogenetic classification
- The origins of life
- Principles of the experimental approach
- Discovery of DNA as the carrier of genetic information
- Experimental demonstrations of the processes of replication, transcription and translation
- Ways in which mutations and changes in genetic information arise: their consequences and transmission
