📋 TASK 2: Introduction to Biology – Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

🎯 Objective:

The primary objective of this session is to conduct an in-depth comparative analysis of cellular compartmentalization, focusing on the structural and functional dichotomies between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. By evaluating differences in nuclear architecture, genomic layout (plasmids vs. linear chromosomes), and organelle availability, students will gain the critical insights necessary to determine how a host cell’s unique internal environment dictates plasmid replication, gene expression limits, and post-translational modification capabilities in practical genetic engineering workflows.

📋 TASK 3: Chromosome Structure & Anatomy – Mapping the Genome

🎯 Objective:

The primary objective of this session is to dissect the macro-level organization and physical packaging of genetic material within the cellular nucleus. Students will investigate the mechanics of DNA condensation around histone proteins into chromatin, master the anatomical landmarks of a chromosome—including centromeres, telomeres, and chromatids—and learn to navigate cytogenetic nomenclature (such as short arm ‘$p$‘ versus long arm ‘$q$‘ designations) to precisely map, identify, and locate specific genes or structural anomalies across a standard genome map.
