A Manual of Practical Zoology Part 1 is written as per the syllabi adopted for B.Sc. Part 1 of various Indian Universities. This Manual covers exercises assigned in the Syllabi of undergradute curriculum of part 1 including Cell Biology, Genetics, Development Biology and Biodiversity. The main feature is the unique style of text to museum specimens covering various aspects of information such as Common name, Distribution, Habit and Habitat, Characters of identification, Special characters, Biological importance and Economic importance. In fact, the marks of spotting are based on such information. Biodiversity based exercises are unique feature of this book generally lacking in books available in the market. The figures are simple and easy to draw.
