This course focuses on the use of molecular genetics in environmental protection, covering topics such as genetic engineering, bioremediation, and environmental monitoring. It also includes ethical issues related to the application of genetic technologies to environmental problems. Students will gain an overview of how molecular tools can be used to protect and restore ecosystems, reduce pollution, and preserve biodiversity. The content of the course is: 1. To understand the key principles of molecular genetics and their use in environmental protection. 2. To gain an overview of genetic engineering methods and their application in the bioremediation of polluted environments. 3. To become familiar with molecular techniques for monitoring and assessing the state of the environment. 4. To understand the importance of genetics in environmental protection and the protection of endangered species. 5. To evaluate the ethical, legal, and social aspects of the use of molecular genetics in an ecological context.
