This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. Fifth Semester students of Zoology for the Ranchi University and other universities in Jharkhand under the recommended National Education Policy 2020. It comprehensively covers the theory and practical papers, namely, 'MJ 9: Molecular Biology', 'MJ 10: Genetics & Ethology' and 'MJ 11: Practicals'
The theory section of MJ 9: Molecular Biology delves into the mechanisms, evolutionary significance, and contemporary relevance of molecular biology. Students will develop an understanding of recombinant DNA technology and its diverse applications in biomedical and genomic sciences, agriculture, and environmental management. The book also explains the fundamental principles of DNA, RNA, and protein structure, function, and expression. The remarkable progress in this field marks it as one of the most rapidly advancing areas in modern science.
MJ 10 is divided into two parts. The first part, Genetics, introduces the life and contributions of Mendel and explains the laws of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. It also covers important topics such as linkage, crossing
over, sex-linked inheritance, and mutations.
The second part, Ethology, provides an overview of the science of animal behaviour. It helps students interpret behavioural and ecological patterns observed in daily life and emphasizes the role of behaviour in wildlife protection and conservation.
