ZOOLOGY: B.Sc. First Year (Semester I) is an effort to mak e available an authentic and standard study material for the students and teachers. The book has been compiled exclusively as per the New Semester- wise Syllabus of RTM Nagpur University. The study material of the book is derived from many standard reference and textbooks of International and National repute.
The book is divided into three parts and eight units:
Part I : Paper I “Life and Diversity of Animals Nonchordates (Protozoa to Annelida)” with IV Units Part II: Paper II “Environment Biology” with IV units Part III: Practical based on Paper I & II
The unique feature of our book is point wise presentation of subject matter which we feel really helpful for the students while reading the book. Several illustrative diagrams have been included in the text which will help students to grasp the idea quickly and easily. At the end of each part of the book questions based on syllabus are given with a view to facilitate students while writing the answers.
