Praktikum Genetika

 

Module title SBEP3052 Genetics Laboratory
Semester(s) 6th Semester
Person responsible Dewi Andayani, S.Pd., M.Pd.
Language Indonesian, English
Relation to curriculum Compulsory modules for 6th semester students. This laboratory course complements the Genetics lecture by providing
practical experience in the study of heredity and genetic variation. It supports CPL-6 and CPL-7 through laboratory
activities such as genetic crosses, phenotype observation, probability analysis, and basic DNA-related techniques.
These practical experiences enable future educators to effectively demonstrate genetic principles in classroom settings
and foster critical inquiry through observation, prediction, and problem-solving based on real biological phenomena.
Teaching methods Hands-on (laboratory), group discussion
Workload 1 x 45 hours per semester, comprising:

✔ 170 minutes structured tasks per week
Credit points 1 SKS = 1.6 ECTS (45 hours)
Prerequisites –
Module objectives / Intended Learning Outcomes ✔ Students are able to observe chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis using prepared slides and plant root sections,
conduct genetic cross experiments based on Mendel’s laws, and identify genetic variation in humans while applying laboratory
safety procedures and environmental awareness.

✔ Students are able to handle experimental organisms, observe morphology, identify Drosophila melanogaster, prepare
breeding media, and analyze its life cycle while applying proper laboratory safety procedures and demonstrating environmental responsibility.
Content This course develops students’ practical skills in genetics through laboratory activities involving observation, experimentation,
and analysis. Students learn to handle biological specimens, conduct experiments, and interpret genetic data.

The main topics of this course are:
➢ Observing cell division (mitosis and meiosis)
➢ Handling experimental organisms
➢ Capturing and identifying Drosophila melanogaster
➢ Observing morphology of Drosophila melanogaster
➢ Breeding and observing life cycle of Drosophila melanogaster
➢ Analyzing human genetic variation
Exams and assessment formats Quiz, observation sheet, weekly report
Study and examination requirements ✔ Assignment: 26%
✔ Quiz: 10%
✔ Exam 1: 34%
✔ Exam 2: 30%
