19	Objective of the Course:	To provide basic information how characters are organized in plants at the level of cell genetics, passed to the next generation, what has done and can be done using inheritance in plant breeding. Together with information about the courses in biochemistry and genetics, the normal Mendelian inheritance is taught in the field of horticulture. It is aimed that students learn abnormalities and non Mendelian inheritance used in the current researches and gain breeding information.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	Students learn how cytogenetic is important in plant breeding and apply the knowledge learned in this course in their professional life.

Learning Outcomes:

1	Be able to use sources of genetic information;
2	Be able to information about reproduction;

4	Be able to use mutations;
5	Be able to use inheritance facts of agronomical characters;
6	Be able to use Mendelian inheritance information of agronomical characters ;
7	Be able to use chromosome manipulation knowledge;
8	Be able to understand maternal inheritance effects;
9	Be able to understand paternal inheritance effects;
10	Be able to understand parental inheritance effects;
