INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY

Class 12 Biology Chapter 1 Reproduction in Organisms


In this chapter, we will learn about types, modes and the process of reproduction in different
organisms.The subtopics covered in this chapter include asexual reproduction, sexual
reproduction, pre-fertilization events, fertilization, and post-fertilization events. Well
illustrated diagrams are also present which makes the learning easy for the students and helps
them understand the topic thoroughly.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 2 Sexual Reproduction in


Flowering Plants
This chapter is a combination of four chapters and holds a weightage of fourteen marks in 12
board examination.In this chapter, we will learn about the structure, morphology, and process
of sexual reproduction in flowering plants. Also, the subtopics covered in this chapter include
pre-fertilization events, double fertilization, post fertilization events and the knowledge about
apomixis and polyembryony.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 3 Human Reproduction


In this chapter, we will learn about the human male and female reproductive system.
Diagrams, illustrations, flowcharts, and easy language makes this chapter comprehensive and
easy to learn. Moreover, the sequential progress of the topics helps us retain and grasp better.
The sub topics covered in this chapter are-

 Reproductive structures,
 Male reproductive systems,
 Female reproductive systems,
 The role of sex hormones,
 Gametogenesis,
 Spermatogenesis and more introductory topics of human reproduction.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 4 Reproductive Health


This chapter focusses on the issues of the significance of reproductive health and the methods
to achieve it.This chapter also focusses on maternal health and the health of the child during
pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and post-pregnancy periods.Infant mortality maternal mortality
and amniocentesis are other topics covered here.
The subtopics covered in this chapter are:
 Reproductive Health – Problems and Strategies
 Population Explosion and Birth Control
 Medical Termination of Pregnancy
 Sexually Transmitted Diseases
 Infertility.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 5 Principles of Inheritance and


Variation
It basically revolves around Genetics and Evolution.Similarity and variation between the
parents and offsprings are discussed in this chapter.Mendel”s law of inheritance, the
inheritance of one gene, the inheritance of two genes, sex determination, mutations, and
genetic disorders are main topics discussed here.

Diagrams, illustrations, flowcharts, and easy language makes this chapter comprehensive and
easy to learn. Moreover, the sequential progress of the topics helps us retain and grasp better.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 6 Molecular Basis of Inheritance


In this chapter, very simplified diagrams are given to understand all the structures of
DNA,RNA, the process of replication, etc.
The topics covered in this chapter are:

 The DNA: Structure of polynucleotide chain, Packaging of DNA helix.


 The search for genetic material: The genetic material is DNA, Properties of
genetic material.
 RNA world.
 Replication: The experimental proof, the machinery, and enzymes.
 Transcription: The transcription unit, Transcription unit and the gene, Types of
RNA and the process of transcription.
 Genetic code: Mutations and genetic code, t RNA. Translation. Regulation of
gene expression.
 The Lac Operon.
 Human genome project: Salient

Class 12 Biology Chapter 7 Evolution


Evolution biology is the study of history of life forms on earth.This chapter deals with the
origin of life and the evolution of life forms or biodiversity on planet earth in the context of
evolution of earth and against the background of evolution of universe itself. Diagrams,
illustrations, flowcharts, and easy language makes this chapter comprehensive and easy to
learn. Moreover, the sequential progress of the topics helps us retain and grasp better.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 8 Health and Diseases


Health, maintenance of optimum health, diseases, types, treatment and prevention, immunity,
and its types and address to some diseases such as AIDS, cancer, and adolescent issues
constitute this chapter.
Subtopics covered in this chapter are:

 Common Diseases in Humans


 Immunity
 AIDS
 Cancer
 Drugs and Alcohol Abuse.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 9 Strategies for Enhancement in


Food Production
This chapter deals with biological principles applied to animal husbandry and plant breeding
that have a major role in to increase food production. Several new techniques like embryo
transfer technology and tissue culture techniques that play a pivotal role in further enhancing
food production are discussed in this chapter.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 10 Microbes in Human Welfare


Microbes are also referred to as micro-organisms or microscopic organisms as they can only
be seen under a microscope. They are tiny living creatures, invisible to the naked eye and are
present all around us, in air, water, soil and so on. They played a key role in the evolution of
the planet earth. Few microbes cause severe infections and disease that even result in death
and others are the beneficial ones and harmless to our lives. Disease-causing microbes are
called as pathogens. Influenza, tuberculosis, polio, cholera, HIV are some of the best
examples of disease caused by these microbes. The most common microbes include Bacteria,
protozoa viroid, some algae, Fungi, and Viruses.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 11 Biotechnology Principles and


Processes
The european federation of biotechnology has defined biotechnology as” the integration of
natural science and organisms, cells, parts thereof, and molecular analogs for products and
services”.This chapter, deals in depth study of principles and processes involved in
biotechnology.
Among many techniques, modern biotechnology is the result of the following two core
techniques. They are-

 Genetic engineering
 Manufacturing of Antibiotics, Drugs and other Vaccines

Class 12 Biology Chapter 12 Biotechnology and its


Application
In this chapter, students will learn that how human beings have used biotechnology to
improve the quality of human life, especially in the field of food production and health.
Biotechnology has given humans several useful products by using microbes, plants, animals,
and their metabolic machinery.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 13 Organisms and Populations


In this chapter, students shall explore ecology at organismic and population level. This
chapter deals with topics such as organisms and its environment, niche, major abiotic factors
affecting the organisms and its environment such as temperature, water, light, soil, responses
to abiotic factors such as regulation , conformation, migration and suspension.

Diagrams, illustrations, flowcharts, and easy language makes this chapter comprehensive and
easy to learn. Moreover, the sequential progress of the topics helps us retain and grasp better.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 14 Ecosystem


An ecosystem can be visualized as a functional unit of nature, where living organisms
interact among themselves and also with the surrounding physical environment.In this
chapter student will first learn about structure of ecosystem,in order to appreciate the input
(productivity), transfer of energy (food chain) and the output.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 15 Biodiversity and its


Conservation
In this chapter students will learn about importance and significance of biodiversity, its types,
patterns, evolution, degradation, and conservation.
Genetic diversity, species diversity, latitudinal gradients, species area relationship, causes of
biodiversity losses, in-situ conservation and ex-situ conservation are few topics covered in
this chapter.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 16 Environmental Issues


This chapter deals with the problems that are posing a threat to the ecological balance in
nature such as pollution, global warming, deforestation, etc. and measures taken to control
such kind of pollution. This chapter also covers the effects of pollution on the human life and
how it is affecting the peoples day to day life.
