Contenu	Learning objectives: The population genetics program will study genetic variations in animal or plant populations, focusing on the spatial component through the application of certain models (Hardy-Weinberg law) to better understand the concept of traits and their nature of variation. Recommended prerequisites: To pursue this course, it is advisable to have acquired basic knowledge through the formal genetics module, which deals with the mode of transmission and expression of traits in haploids and diploids. Subject Content Chapter 1: Population Definition Genetic Constitution of the Population Population Structure and Properties Chapter 2: Genetic Variability Notion of Variability Sources of Variability: Mutation, Gene Flow, Selection Notion of Polymorphism Example of Polymorphism: Enzymatic Polymorphism Chapter 3: Population Equilibrium: Hardy-Weinberg Law Properties of an Ideal Population Demonstration of Hardy-Weinberg Law Case of Autosomal Di-allelic Codominance Gene Case of Autosomal Di-allelic Dominance Gene Case of Autosomal Multi-allelic Dominance Gene Transmission of Sex-Linked Genes Tests of Equilibrium Chapter 4: Evolution and Speciation Notion of Micro and Macro Evolution Isolation and Speciation Current Concepts of Evolution and Biological Properties of Species Chapter 5: Consanguinity Notion of Relatedness and Consanguinity Chapter 6: Demographic Basics of Populations Spatial Distribution, Survival, Influence of Factors on Populations Population Regulation Community Stabilization and Adaptive Strategies Personal Work: Application Exercises + Report Evaluation method: Continuous assessment, exams, presentations.
