Paper II
Section A To prepare Cell Biology and Genetics, students need to follow the same advice as provided for these two topics in Botany. However, you need to correlate cellular processes with human physiology and human disease conditions. In Genetics, student should also mention the possible human welfare applications. For this year's mains paper, the human genome project appears important because of media reports on this topic during the last one year. In Evolution, students should prepare exclusively for short notes and identify important topics from previous years' papers. The section on Systematics can be ignored or students just need to stick to the present course structure. No peripheral questions asked. Section B Biochemistry and Physiology Practical Bio-chemical pathway with structural formula of molecules are important in this year's paper. Prepare from medical bio-chemistry and physiology books. Represent most information through flow charts. Always draw relevant anatomical diagrams. Development Biology If physiology and biochemistry are prepared thoroughly, then this part can be prepared only for short notes. Colored drawings are a must. Students need to practice them properly.
