Molekul\u00eare Biologie en Biotegnologie<\/h4>\n

Molekul\u00eare Biologie is die vertakking van biologie wat lewensnoodsaaklike makromolekules bestudeer. Biotegnologie gebruik kennis van hoe biologiese sisteme werk, om lewende organismes te manipuleer ten einde bruikbare oplossings te vind. In die BSc Molekul\u00eare Biologie en Biotegnologieprogram by die Universiteit Stellenbosch, sal jy toonaangewende, moderne wetenskaplike navorsing kan verken. Jy sal leer hoe molekules soos DNS, RNS en prote\u00efene die fundamentele prosesse van sellul\u00eare lewe be\u00efnvloed. Dit sal die grondslag l\u00ea vir \u0149 loopbaan as \u0149 molekul\u00eare selbioloog of biotegnoloog in die privaat of openbare sektore, of in die akademiese omgewing.<\/p>\n

Biochemie<\/h5>\n

Biochemie is die studie van die chemiese prosesse wat in alle lewende organismes plaasvind. In wese bring dit Biologie en Chemie byeen en stel dit wetenskaplikes in staat om hierdie kennis te gebruik om vraagstukke aangaande die funksies van selle \u2013 waaruit alle vorme van lewe bestaan \u2013 op te los. Biochemie ondersteun 'n verskeidenheid van wetenskapsdissiplines soos genetika en mikrobiologie, maar ook chemie, forensiese wetenskap, plantkunde en geneeskunde. As gevolg van die groot omvang, is Biochemie baie belangrik om lewenswetenskappe in die algemeen te kan verstaan. In Biochemie sal jy die werking van biologiese bane in metabolisme leer, en hoe al die komponente van biologiese bane soos prote\u00efene, lipiede en koolhidrate gevorm word, en ook wat hulle funksie binne die metabolisme is.<\/p>\n

Mikrobiologie<\/h5>\n

Mikrobiologie (micros = klein; bios = lewe; logos = wetenskap) is die studie van mikroskopies klein lewende organismes soos bakterie\u00eb, virusse, swamme, protoso\u00eb en alge. Al is mikrobes nie met die blote oog sigbaar nie, beslaan hulle 60% van alle lewe op Aarde en het hulle \u0149 groot impak op elke ander lewende organisme op die planeet. Mikrobiese aktiwiteite en interaksies is van kritieke belang vir feitlik alle prosesse op Aarde. Dit speel \u0149 rol in voedingstofsiklus, bioafbreking, klimaatsverandering, die bederwing van voedsel, asook in die oorsaak en beheer van siektes. Die toepassing van fundamentele mikrobiese kennis het gelei tot die ontwikkeling van verskeie mediese, veeartsenykundige, industri\u00eble, omgewings- en ander biotegnologiese toepassings, tot voordeel van die mensdom.<\/p>\n

Genetika<\/h5>\n

Genetika is die studie van hoe biologiese inligting geberg, oorgedra, vertolk en uitgedruk word. Dit vorm dus 'n sentrale pilaar van biologie en oorvleuel ook met baie areas soos landbou, geneeskunde en biotegnologie. In Genetika sal jy leer van gene, oorerwing, en genetiese variasie in lewende organismes. Dit beteken dat ons die fisiologiese gedrag van 'n lewende organisme, soos bv. \u2018n plant, dier of mens kan verstaan \u00e9n voorspel.<\/p>\n
