REMEMBERING
Recall classification, habit & habitat of non-chordates (Sepia, Asterias, larvae, Brachiopoda); recall types of carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, RNA; recall cytological tools (TEM, SEM, PAGE, karyotyping) and biotechniques (PCR, blotting, tissue culture).
CO2
UNDERSTANDING
Explain morphology & anatomy of Sepia & Asterias, explain shell, foot, torsion; explain plasma membrane (Fluid Mosaic Model & junctions); explain biological significance of biomolecules; describe DNA replication, transcription, translation, and molecular techniques.
Demonstrate practical skills: detection & estimation of carbohydrates/proteins, centrifugation, chromatography, mitotic squash, karyotype preparation; construct atomic models of biomolecules; apply standard curves in colorimetry.
Differentiate structural features (shells, feet, larvae, junctions, protein bonds, DNA types); compare functional anatomy across non- chordates; interpret karyotype abnormalities; analyze results from biochemical tests.
Assess evolutionary & functional adaptations (torsion-detorsion, reproductive strategies,); evaluate roles of bonds in protein stability; evaluate significance of PCR, DNA fingerprinting in biology & society; critically assess membrane functions in communication & transport.
Construct atomic models of carbohydrates, proteins, peptides; design basic experiments on cell differentiation; create integrative diagrams/models of DNA replication and protein synthesis.
