Students are also expected to be able to explain the processes and stages of spermatogenesis and oogenesis as well as the processes of proliferation (mitosis) and meiosis that occur in human sex organs, the mechanism of embryo formation and development, as well as the processes of gene mutations and chromosomal abnormalities. So that the learning material is expected to support the competencies that must be possessed by a doctor in accordance with the Indonesian Doctor Competency Standards.
The teaching staff of this section are involved in teaching and learning activities in biology courses for first year students. The practicum was carried out in the Biomolecular laboratory. The staff of the biology section consists of 1 section head, namely Drs.
