1.
|
Taxonomy
|
Need for classification; three domains of life. Linnaean, Whittaker,
Bentham and Hooker
systems of classification. Salient features of non-chordates up to
phyla levels and chordates up
to class levels.
|
2.
|
Cell and Molecular Biology
|
Cell theory. Prokaryotic cell and it’s ultrastructure. Eukaryotic
cell- cell wall, cell membrane,
cytoskeleton, nucleus, chloroplast, mitochondria, endoplasmic
reticulum, Golgi bodies,
ribosomes, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Cell cycle and
division - amitosis, mitosis
and meiosis. Search for genetic material; structure of DNA and RNA;
replication, transcription,
genetic code, translation, splicing, gene expression and regulation
(lac operon) and DNA repair.
|
3.
|
Reproduction
|
Asexual reproduction – binary fission, sporulation, budding, gemmule
formation and
fragmentation. Vegetative propagation in plants, sexual reproduction
in flowering plants and
structure of flowers. Pollination, fertilization, development of
seeds and fruits, seed dispersal,
apomixis, parthenocarpy and poly-embryony. Human reproductive system.
Gametogenesis,
menstrual cycle, fertilization, implantation, embryo development upto
blastocyst formation,
pregnancy, parturition and lactation. Assisted reproductive
technologies.
|
4.
|
Genetics and evolution
|
Chromosomes - structure and types, linkage and crossing over,
recombination of
chromosomes, mutation and chromosomal aberrations. Mendelian
inheritance, chromosomal
theory of inheritance, deviation from Mendelian ratio (incomplete
dominance, co-dominance,
multiple allelism, pleiotrophy), sex linked inheritance and sex
determination in humans.
Darwinism, neo Darwinism, Hardy and Weinberg’s principle and factors
affecting the
equilibrium: selection, mutation, migration and random genetic drift.
|
5.
|
Human health and diseases
|
Pathogens, parasites causing human diseases (malaria, dengue,
chickengunia, filariasis,
ascariasis, typhoid, pneumonia, common cold, amoebiasis, ring worm)
and their control. Basic
concepts of immunology, vaccines, antibiotics, cancer, HIV and AIDS.
Adolescence, drug and
alcohol abuse.
|
6.
|
Biochemistry
|
Structure and function of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Enzymes
– types, properties and
enzyme action. Metabolism - glycolysis, Kreb’s cycle and pentose
phosphate pathway.
|
7.
|
Plant physiology
|
Movement of water, food, nutrients, gases and minerals. Passive
diffusion, facilitated diffusion,
and active transport. Imbibition, osmosis, apoplast and symplast
transport and guttation.
Transpiration, photosynthesis (light and dark reactions) and electron
transport chain.
Hormones and growth regulators, photo-periodism and vernalization.
Nitrogen cycle and
biological nitrogen fixation.
|
8.
|
Human physiology
|
Digestion and absorption, breathing and respiration, body fluids and
circulation, excretory
system, endocrine system, nervous system, skeletal and muscular
systems. Locomotion and
movement, growth, aging and death. Hormones - types of hormones,
functions and disorders.
|
9.
|
Biotechnology and its applications
|
Recombinant DNA technology, applications in health, agriculture and
industries; genetically
modified organisms; Human insulin, vaccine and antibiotic production.
Stem cell technology
and gene therapy. Apiculture and animal husbandry. Plant breeding,
tissue culture, single cell
protein, fortification, Bt crops and transgenic animals. Microbes in
food processing, sewage
treatment, waste management and energy generation. Biocontrol agents
and biofertilizers. Biosafety
issues, biopiracy and patents.
|
10.
|
Biodiversity, ecology and environment
|
Ecosystems: components, types, pyramids, nutrient cycles (carbon and
phosphorous),
ecological succession and energy flow in an ecosystem; Biodiversity -
concepts, patterns,
importance, conservation, hot spots, endangered organisms,
extinction, Red data book,
botanical gardens, national parks, sanctuaries, museums, biosphere
reserves and Ramsar
sites. Environmental issues: pollution and its control. Population
attributes - growth, birth and
death rate and age distribution.
