SYLLABUS: Introduction. Structure of the eukaryotic chromosome. Chromosomic variations. Chromosome as a vehicle to inheritance.

OBJETIVES:
The aim of Cytogenetics is to analyze how the structure and behaviour of chromosomes guarantees the conservation of genetical information, its father-to-son transmission and its gradual release to control the development of the organism. We will also study the chromosomic variations, their genetical consequences and evolutive implications.
