Learning objectives
To offer the basic knowledge of human biology in an evolutionary perspective, underlying the molecular and cellular processes shared by all living organisms. To encourage students to critically evaluate experimental data by illustrating prime experiments of the past and contemporary biology. To describe the following processes: duplication, transmission, expression of the hereditary information; how changes arise To describe the hierarchy of master genes involved in tooth development and their interactions. To offer an updated information about the recombinant DNA technology and its applications to dentistry To teach the genetic bases of inherited diseases and how to interpret their modes of transmission To illustrate in particular various genetic conditions affecting dental health. At the end of the course, students must demonstrate to have gotten acquainted with basic knowledge of cellular functions, cell reproduction, cell-cell interactions, organism-to –organism interactions and organisms-to-environment interactions. They must also demonstrate to know how genetic traits are transmitted (mendelian and post-mendelian genetics, population genetics). They should be able to recognize inheritance patterns of genetic disorders, in particular those involving teeth development and structure. All these notions are a pre-requisite for further in depth studies , which will be undertaken by the students in subsequent courses.

Didactic methods
Attendance to lessons is mandatory. Classes will consist of theorical lessons covering the whole exam program. Oral explanations will be coadiuvated by PowerPoint presentations and videos, which will be made available to students through a dedicated Department website. The flipped classroom method and the Team-Based Learning method will also be used. Additional didactic supports (multiple choice quizzes for self-assessment, journal articles, reviews, etc.) may be suggested during the course and will be made available to students for download. During the whole Academic Year, students may request personal reception to the teachers, by e mail.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam consists of overcoming a written test of about 25-30 multiple choice quizzes spanning the entire program, followed by a short interview to discuss the quiz answers.
Evaluation criteria
To pass the test, students shall demonstrate to possess the comprehension and the knowledge of teaching topics, skills of reasoning and personal re-elaboration of notions. The ability to present their arguments accurately and synthetically, using the adequate scientific language can also be assessed.
The Biology test is considered passed if the evaluation is at least 18/30.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Single test examination

I corsi elettivi (attività a scelta dello studente - TAF. D)
non rientrano nel computo del debito didattico.
La Commissione Didattica organizza l'offerta di attività didattiche opzionali realizzabili con lezioni frontali, seminari, tirocini, esercitazioni e internati pratici, videoconferenze, conferenze, corsi e convegni, fra i quali lo studente esercita la propria personale opèzione, fino al conseguimento dei crediti
previsti dal piano didattico.
Agli studenti che partecipano ai programmi di internazionalizzazione della didattica e della ricerca, preventivamente autorizzati, vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per i Corsi Elettivi.
