This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. (Programme) Second Semester students of Zoology as per the UGC Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). Comprehensively written, it explains the essential principles, processes and methodology of Comparative Anatomy and Developmental Biology of Vertebrates. This textbook is profusely illustrated with over 250 well-labelled diagrams, not only to supplement the descriptions, but also for sound understanding of the concepts.
· Extensive coverage of comparative anatomy of vertebrates with an emphasis on evolutionary origin, embryological development, phylogeny and functional utility of various organ systems
· Detailed discussion on history and branches of developmental biology of vertebrates. Also discusses importance of cleavage, morulation and blastulation
· Boxed items throughout the text providing information on intricate terms or topics
· Engaging chapter-end questions to enhance and strengthen learning of the students
