Course Objectives:
This course will enable the students to
- Design and conduct experiments using Drosophila as an experimental model and study its molecular biology and genetics.
- Develop an understanding about characteristic features of different specimens from phylum Annelida to Echinodermata.
- Integrate the scientific aspects and their role in development of diverse animal kingdoms.
