About

You will be able to

  • Use the compound microscope and prepare stained temporary mounts
  • Prepare root-tip squashes and identify stages of mitosis and meiosis
  • Study normal and abnormal human karyotypes and Barr bodies
  • Solve genetic problems and test ratios by chi-square
  • Identify common pathogens and vectors from slides and specimens

Who it is for

  • B.Sc Zoology students of Semester 1 (UP State Universities, NEP 2020)
  • Students preparing for the B.Sc Zoology practical examination and viva

What you need

  • Theory of Cytology, Genetics and Infectious Diseases
  • Lab coat and a practical record file

Questions

Which syllabus does this lab course follow?

It follows the B.Sc Zoology Semester 1 syllabus of the UP State Universities (NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus). Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

How are students assessed at the centre?

The trainer watches each experiment and marks it on a rubric (set-up, observations, calculation and viva); viva-style questions revise the theory behind the experiments.

Will this help in the semester examination?

Yes. The experiments match the university practical examination, including the record file and viva.
