The course provides overview of features shared by living systems, origin of life and development of livings systems. It introduces the structure and function relationship at the levels ranging from molecular entities, through organization of the (particularly eukaryotic) cell to plant and animal tissues. It further provides an insight into underlying mechanisms, transmission and expression of genetic information, heredity, ontogenesis of the cell and organism and evolution and introduces the diversity of modern organisms.

The exam consists of a written and an oral part. The written part is mandatory, the oral part can only be taken after obtaining at least 16 points from the written part. The written part consists of 20 multiple-choice questions with a single correct answer and 3 open questions. The written part is graded F if the student has 9 or fewer correct answers from the multiple-choice questions. For each correct answer, the student receives 1 point, questions with a wrong or no answer are equally evaluated for 0 points. Open questions are each evaluated 10 points, a total of 50 points can be obtained for the written part. Classification of the written part: 50-44 points - A, 38-43 points - B, 30-37 points - C, 24-29 points - D, 16-23 points - D, 0-15 points F. The oral exam takes place on the same day as the written part and is mandatory for students who were graded B, C and D in the written part, it is optional for students with grades A and E.

Students will be able to: Describe coherently structural components of the cell, specific intracellular structures and compartments and the architecture of tissues; understand their respective structure and function relationship. Explain fundamental events during i) the cell cycle, ii) hereditary transmission genetic determinants and expression of the gene; iii) plant and animal reproduction. Explain fundamental mechanisms of evolution and diversity of organisms reflecting the accumulation of evolutionary novelties. Students will acquire the knowledge required for further study in courses focused on specialized fields of biology.
