OBJECTIVES

BTE3433 (Molecular Biology & Genetic Engineering)

Give information on the structural organization of 

prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells based principally on

cytoskeletal elements and structure of the nucleus.

Give an understanding of the DNA replication, mechanisms

of transcription and translation in prokaryotes and

eukaryotes and the control of gene expression in

microorganisms.

Give information on Mendelian genetics concepts and laws.

Provide knowledge on the basic and advance techniques in

recombinant DNA technology

LEARNING OUTCOMES (LO):

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

Describe cell division, and cell-cell or cell-environment

communications.

Predict the outputs of genetics dissociation based onMendelian genetic laws.

Explain the mechanism of DNA replication, transcription,

translation process and gene expression of prokaryotes and

eukaryotes. Apply suitable gene cloning and method for selection

strategies based on a given situation

Identify the application of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics in

various areas and their benefit to the Ummah, humanity and

environment

Attendance, Quiz, Test and Exam Policies:

•

Regular attendance is required for all class meetings.• A minimum of 80% class attendance must be fulfilled.

• Punctuality to classes is also expected. 

• Unless otherwise specified, quizzes will normally be given during

normal class meetings. No make-up quizzes except for documentedmedical reasons (you must have a note from the doctor). 

• No make-up test/exam will be given except for documented medical

reasons. 

• The onus is for the absent student to notify the instructor within 24

hours for any missed quiz/test

The Test & Exam are based on the textbook, class notes,

handouts and assignments.

Those who do the homework honestly, will earn the better 

grades.

I encourage group homework and study sections. But each

person in a group must pull their own weight, copied answers

will be considered dishonest.

Copying the homework and not fully participating, cheats

yourself.
