Key Syllabus Coverage (Official IGNOU Curriculum)

• Block-1: Gene Interaction and Mapping
  • Epistasis, complementation, and genetic linkage mechanisms in model organisms (e.g., Drosophila, maize).
  • Chromosome mapping techniques: Three-point test crosses and recombination frequency analysis.
  • Applications of gene mapping in animal breeding and genetic improvement programs.
• Block-2: Gene Mutation, Repair, and Expression
  • Types of mutations: Point mutations, frameshift mutations, and chromosomal aberrations (deletions, duplications).
