Unit : 7 Continuity of Life
Heredity and variation : Introduction, Mendel’s experiments with peas and idea of factors. Mendel’s law of inheritance. Genes : Packaging of heredity material in prokaryetes-bacterial chromosome; plasmid and eukaryote chromosomes. Extranuclear genes, viral genes. Linkage (genetic) maps. Sex determination and sex linkage. Genetic material and its replication, gene manipulation. Gene expression; genetic code, transcription, translation, gene regulation. Molecular basis of differentiation.

Unit : 8 Origin and Evolution of Life
Origin of life : Living and non-living, chemical evolution, organic evolution; Oparin ideas, Miller-Urey experiments. Interrelationship among living organisms and evidences of evolution : fossilrecords including geological time scale, Morphological evidence - Hemology, vestigeal organs, embryological similarities and biogeographical evidence.
Darwin’s two major contributions. Common origin of living organisms and recombination as sources of variability, selection acts upon variation, adaptation (Ledergerg’s replica plating experiment for indirect select of bacterial mutants), reproductive isolation, speciation. Role of selection change and drift in determining composition of population. Selected examples : industrial melanism; drug resistance, mimicry, malaria in relation to G-6-PD deficiency and sickle cell disease. Human evolution : Palcontological evidence, man’s place among mammals. Brief idea of Dryopithecus, Australopithecus, home erectus, H. neadnderthlensis, Cromagnon man and homo sapiens. Human chromosomes, similarity in different racial groups. Comparison with chromosomes of nonhuman primates to indicate common origin; Cultural vs. biological evolution.
Mutation-Their role is speciation. Their origin in speciation, their origin in organisms (This concept to be taught along with Darwin’s concepts of evolution).
