The course introduces the students to analyze and quantify antigen and antibodies by using different immunotechniques such as agglutination test, Ouchterlony Double diffusion method, Radial immunodiffusion, ELISA and Rocket electrophoresis. 

The paper aims to provide practical exposure to students regarding the basic procedures in the molecular biology lab. It deals with the extraction and quantification of important biomolecules like DNA and protein.

The course is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of morphological and anatomical features of vertebrates and their evolutionary significance and make use of their higher-level cognitive skills like analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The contents help to understand how organisms maintain the gametic population, fertilization process, and the fundamental embryonic development such as cleavage, blastula, gastrula, fate map, regeneration etc. 

To study and compare the development of organ systems across the animal world; to give an overview of the developmental structures and functioning of different systems in animals and to learn more about animal development.
