MYCOLOGY-the sudy of Fungi!

Understanding plant anatomy is not only fundamental to the study of plant systematics and palaeobotany, but is also an essential part of evolutionary biology, physiology, ecology, and the rapidly expanding science of developmental genetics

Embryology of flowering plats includes the structure of a typical angiosperm flower, parts and modifications Palynology deals with the structure of pollengrains in angiosperms, patterns of pollination, pollinationg agents and mechanism of pollination

Module II: Gaseous and Solid States 

Gaseous State: Introduction - Kinetic molecular model of gases – Maxwell distribution of

velocities and its use in calculating molecular velocities – Average velocity, RMS velocity

and most probable velocity (derivations not required) – Boyle’s law – Charles’s law – Ideal

gas equation – Behaviour of real gases – Deviation from ideal behavior - Van der Waals

equation (derivation not required).

Solid State: Introduction - Isotropy and anisotropy - Symmetry elements in crystals - The

seven crystal systems – Miller indices - Bravais lattices – Bragg’s equation (derivation

required) and its applications (mention only). Defects in crystals: Non-stoichiometric and

stoichiometric defects - Extrinsic and intrinsic defects.
