This book is especially prepared for the students of B.Sc. and M.Sc. of different Indian Universities as per UGC Model Curriculum. Students, preparing for Medical Entrance Examination, IAS, IFS, and PCS etc. will also be benefited by this book. At the end of some chapters of Genetic Engineering may enlighten the target readers. Entirely new information on Quantitative Genetics and Immunogenetics may enthral the readers. MCQ's ans answers will also be helpful for the students to strngthen their self confidence. By the help of numerous figures, many tables, boxes and coloured photographs, this book has tried to serve a balanced account of Classical Genetics and Modern Molecular Genetics. • This book is for Graduate, P.G. students of Biophysics, Microbiology& Biological Sciences.

The revised edition of this bestselling textbook provides latest and detailed account of vital topics in biology, namely, Cell Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Evolution and Ecology . The treatment is very exhaustive as the book devotes exclusive parts to each topic, yet in a simple, lucid and concise manner. Simplified and well labelled diagrams and pictures make the subject interesting and easy to understand. It is developed for students of B.Sc. Pass and Honours courses, primarily. However, it is equally useful for students of M.Sc. Zoology, Botany and Biosciences. Aspirants of medical entrance and civil services examinations would also find the book extremely useful.

This book explains the essential principles, processes and methodology of cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology. It reflects upon the significant advances in cell biology such as motor proteins, intracellular traffic and targeting of proteins, signalling pathways, receptors, apoptosis, aging and cancer. It also discusses certain current topics such as history of life (origin of life), archaebacteria, split genes, exon shuffling, gene silencing, RNA interference, miRNA, siRNA and recombinant DNA technology, etc.

For sophomore- to junior-level courses in Evolution, with an Introductory Biology prerequisite.This text introduces biology majors to the basic concepts of the fields comprising Darwinian biology: population genetics, population ecology, community ecology, macroevolution, physiological ecology, systematics, and functional morphology. The general theme is the interconnectedness of organism, environment, and evolution. Just as biochemistry and molecular biology provide the foundation for our understanding of the cell, evolutionary biology and ecology are used to construct a foundation for understanding the organism. Using evocative language and an eye-catching magazine format, the authors aim to prepare undergraduates for more advanced specialist courses in Darwinian biology as they pursue their degrees.

"The last ten years have seen an explosion of activity in the application of molecular biological techniques to evolutionary and ecological studies. This volume attempts to summarize advances in the field and place into context the wide variety of methods available to ecologists and evolutionary biologists using molecular techniques. Both the molecular techniques and the variety of methods available for the analysis of such data are presented in the text. The book has three major sections - populations, species and higher taxa. Each of these sections contains chapters by leading scientists working at these levels, where clear and concise discussion of technology and implication of results are presented. The volume is intended for advanced students of ecology and evolution and would be a suitable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate student seminar courses." -- Publisher.

This 2004 collection of essays deals with the foundation and historical development of population biology and its relationship to population genetics and population ecology on the one hand and to the rapidly growing fields of molecular quantitative genetics, genomics and bioinformatics on the other. Such an interdisciplinary treatment of population biology has never been attempted before. The volume is set in a historical context, but it has an up-to-date coverage of material in various related fields. The areas covered are the foundation of population biology, life history evolution and demography, density and frequency dependent selection, recent advances in quantitative genetics and bioinformatics, evolutionary case history of model organisms focusing on polymorphisms and selection, mating system evolution and evolution in the hybrid zones, and applied population biology including conservation, infectious diseases and human diversity. This is the third of three volumes published in honour of Richard Lewontin.
