Overall aims and purpose
Mae Modiwl yma yn opsiwn Cymraeg o'r modiwl Evolution and Genetics (BNS2002) Bydd y modiwl fel y fersiwn Saesneg, ond bydd 'na gyfle i neud rhywfaint o'r gwaith yn Gymraeg. (seminarau ychwanegol, gwaith ymarferol ac ysgrifennu). Mae fersiwn Cymraeg yn newydd (2019/20), a bydd pethau yn cael eu datblygu dros amser. Mae bwriad o greu'r modiwl yma ydy darparu modiwl Cymraeg sydd yn orfodol i bob cwrs bioleg. Mae dewis y modiwl Cymraeg yn orfodol i'r rhai sydd yn derbyn bwrsari Cymraeg neu ysgoloriaeth Cymraeg.
