2. To be able to explain historical and contemporary issues that span multiple academic disciplines from multifaceted perspectives.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline Mutations in humans and animals produce individuals with new phenotype and morphology. Our ancestors, for example, have used such mutants (traits) of organisms to develop foodstuff that enrich our dietary habits. We are also products of inheritance and mutation. We will learn this inheritance and mutation in our lives and on the basis of familiar topics of animals and examples. Furthermore, with regard to this genetic and mutation, students learn in class how to prepare for conducting research (research for undergraduate and problem research), that is, what is necessary to start research (research literacy).

Class Schedule lesson1　Introduction, Overview and orientation of the whole class schedule: Realize and recognize mutations of human and animal
lesson2  Mutation, and Breeding
lesson3  Law of inheritance
lesson4  Inheritance, DNA, and genome
lesson5  Copy mistake in gene replication
