Aim of the course The aim of the course is to present genetically modified organisms (plants, animals, food) and the methods of obtaining, identification and detection of GMOs and legal and social aspects of the use of GMOs. During laboratory training, the student learns methods of animal trasgenesis, transformation of plants by Agrobacterium, genetically modified corn (Cry gene) xenotransplantation.
Fundamentals of biology, chemistry, microbiology and genetics
Lectures: GMO - definitions gene, transgene. Overview of genetically modified organisms. Molecular basis of genetic transformation and the methods of obtaining genetically modified plants and animals. The expression of transgenes. Identification and detection of GMOs. Legal and social aspects of the use of GMOs. Genetically modified foods. People and the environmental biosecurity - legal, bioethics. Laboratory classes: reporter and marker genes. GFP protein. Transgenesis methods. Cloning of mammals. Xenotransplantation - Polish study. Transformation of plants by Agrobacterium. Genetically modified corn - Cry gene. GMO-free zones. Controversy over GMO. Cultivation of GM crops in the world.
Lecture: Informative multimedial presentation. Laboratory: giving method - explaining and collaborative discussion, informative multimedial presentation

LECTURE: The exam - the student is allowed to take the final written examination test after getting the pass mark credit of the laboratory classes. The laboratory classes – the requirements of the assessment criteria refer to the pass mark credits of written tests as well as the pass mark credits of the teamwork written study on the given issue. The final mark consists of the average sum of all of the pass partial marks.
