Developmental Biology with Reproductive Biology and Practicals

Authors: Dr. Tripurari Mishra & Dr. Diwakar Mishra
Publisher: Mahaveer Publications, Dibrugarh

This comprehensive textbook is designed as per the FYUGP NEP syllabus and is suitable for students of Dibrugarh University, Gauhati University, Bodoland University, Bhattadev University, University of Delhi, University of Calcutta, Odisha Universities, Bengal Universities, and all Indian Universities and Autonomous Colleges.

Covering the full spectrum of developmental and reproductive biology, the book combines theoretical concepts with practical insights, making it ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate learners in Zoology and Life Sciences.

Key Features

• Clear Conceptual Framework: Begins with historical perspectives and core concepts of developmental biology, including phases of development, differentiation, and cell interaction.

• Detailed Reproductive Biology: In-depth coverage of rat and human reproductive systems, gonadal development, hormonal regulation, and reproductive cycles.

• Comprehensive Gametogenesis & Fertilization: Explains spermatogenesis, oogenesis, egg types, sperm structure, fertilization processes, and post-fertilization changes.

• Advanced Embryology: Early and late embryonic development of frog, chick, and human, including morphogenesis, organogenesis, placenta, and parturition.

• Applied Aspects: Teratogenesis, IVF, embryonic stem cells, amniocentesis, and modern applications of developmental biology.

• Practical Component: Hands-on experiments (1–7) to enhance laboratory understanding and skill-building.
