Course Info

About this Course

MOOC Genetics and You: AN INTRODUCTION consists of 4 topics which are,Topic (1) Cell and Chromosomes, Topic (2) DNA and RNA, and Topic(3) and (4) are about Genetic Testing. You will learn about basic cell biology, the structure and function of the cell as the basic unit of life followed by the unraveling of DNA and RNA in our genome. You will be able to relate the prior knowledge obtained at the earlier part of this course to the next topic, the basic of genetic testing. Assessments are given at the end of every topic and we would be delighted to assist you at every step of your journey with us.
