Aims

By the end of the module, students should understand the bases of unicity and diversity in the living world. They will know the structure and functioning of human cell and genome as well as the mechanisms of cell division and embryonic development. Moreover, they will know the structure of the major types of human tissues.

Main themes

The major themes are :

- Characteristics common to all living species
- The human cell, its functioning and division
- Classical, evolutive and molecular genetics
- Cellular bases in sexual reproduction
- The differents cell types and their organisation in tissues
- The major steps in human embryonic development
