replication, transcription, translation with special reference to eukaryotes
(maturation of the primary transcript, splicing, tRNA, ribosomes and polysomes) -
The gene: similarities and differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Gene mutations: main mechanisms and different types (point,
frameshifts, duplication, deletion, unequal crossing-over)

Construction of family trees
Main monogenic diseases (Cystic fibrosis, Neurofibromatosis 1, Haemophilia,
Marfan, etc.)
Numerical and structural chromosome mutations
Main chromosome aberration syndromes of the autosomes and the
sex chromosomes
Recombinant DNA technology: main methods (restriction enzymes,
southern blotting, electrophoresis, RFLPs, sequencing, PCR)
