- Practical activities, laboratory activities / or exercises
This program will be carried out during the 1° year 2° semester of the CdS with schedule of the lessons published on the website of the CdS in the section dedicated to the timetable of the lessons.

To pass the exam, we suggest a theoretical deepening already from the beginning of the course attendance.
For the purpose of consultation and in-depth study, the recommended books are:

- Titolo: Biologia cellulare e molecolare
Autori: Gerald Karp
Casa editrice: Edises

- Titolo: Principi di Genetica
Autori: Snustad, Simmons
Casa editrice: Edises

- Titolo: Genetica
Autori: Benjamin A Pierce
Casa editrice: Zanichelli

Ai sensi del Regolamento didattico del CdS, lo studente è tenuto a frequentare obbligatoriamente le attività didattiche e professionalizzanti del CL. La frequenza viene verificata dai docenti tramite fogli firma /appello, su elenchi aggiornati forniti dalla Segreteria Didattica secondo quanto stabilito dal CCL, su indicazione dell’Ufficio di Presidenza. L'attestazione di frequenza alle attività didattiche obbligatorie di un Corso di insegnamento è necessaria allo studente per sostenere il relativo esame.

Following the Regulations of the CdS, the student is required to attend educational activities, formal, non-formal, vocational. The attendance is checked by the teachers through signature / roll call, based on updated lists provided by the Academic Office, as established by CCL. The certificate of attendance to the course is mandatory and required to the student to be admitted at the final exam.

To pass the exam you must obtain a grade of not less than 18/30 in each module. The student must demonstrate that he has acquired sufficient knowledge of the topics covered during the course. To achieve a score of 30/30 cum laude the student must instead demonstrate that he has acquired excellent knowledge of all the topics covered during the course, arguing a linear reasoning with the use of technical terms and using correct linguistic expressions.
The dates of the exams (eight sessions) are published on the CdS website in the relative section.
