A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Cell structure and chromosomes

This topic covers the structure of the cell and the organization of chromosomes, which are the physical carriers of hereditary information. For Crop Genetics and Breeding, you must master the parts of plant cells, the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organization, and how chromosomes are structured and counted, because these ideas form the basis of inheritance, variation, and breeding decisions.
