Core Curricular Topics
Based on undergraduate zoology curricula across Indian universities using the New Central Book Agency series, Volume III typically covers:
- Cell Biology (Cytology): Ultrastructure of animal cells, plasma membrane dynamics, cytoplasmic organelles, and mechanisms of cell division (mitosis and meiosis).
- Genetics & Molecular Biology: Mendelian inheritance, gene interactions, linkage and crossing over, chromosomal aberrations, DNA structure/replication, transcription, translation, and gene regulation.
- Evolutionary Biology: Theories of organic evolution (Lamarckism, Darwinism, Modern Synthesis), evolutionary forces (mutation, selection, genetic drift), speciation, and the history of animal life.
- Animal Physiology: Detailed comparative mechanisms of digestion, circulation, respiration, excretion, nerve impulse conduction, and hormonal regulation in animals.
- Developmental Biology (Embryology): Gametogenesis, fertilization, cleavage types, gastrulation, and the differentiation of primary germ layers.
