2. Diversity in Living World: Animal diversity, classification and systematics.
3. Structural Organization in Animals: Anatomy, morphology and tissues of animals.
Botany
1. Plant Diversity: Gymnosperms, angiosperms, pteridophytes, bryophytes and algae.
2. Cell Structure and Function: Theory of cells, organelle structure, cell cycle and prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure.
3. Plant Physiology: Photosynthesis, respiration, development and growth of plants and plant transport.
4. Reproduction in Plants: Pollination, fertilisation, seed development, flowering and sexual and asexual reproduction.
5. Genetics and Evolution: Evolution, the molecular foundation of inheritance and the principles of inheritance and variation.
Important High Weightage Topics on which aspirants should focus more
