This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. Sixth Semester students of Zoology as per Common Minimum Syllabus prescribed for all Uttar Pradesh State Universities and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020. It comprehensively covers Paper 1, namely, Evolutionary and Developmental Biology. The theory part of this book aptly discusses the theories of evolution including origin of life; historical review of evolutionary concept- Lamarckism and Darwinism; modern synthetic theory of evolution and patterns of evolution. This book also discusses the population genetics; direct evidence of evolution; species concept and extinction; gamete fertilization and early development; developmental genes; early vertebrate development and late developmental processes in detail.

  • More than 250 well-labelled diagrams have been provided for easy understanding of the concepts
  • Boxed items throughout the text providing information on intricate terms and topics
  • Engaging chapter-end exercises have been provided for practice
