"Genetics and Evolutionary Biology" by Pranab Paul is a comprehensive textbook designed for students pursuing Zoology and Botany Majors. This book is structured as per the FYUGP (NEP) syllabus and is adopted by multiple universities across India. Covering fundamental principles of genetics and evolution, the book provides in-depth insights into classical and modern genetic theories, inheritance patterns, chromosomal and gene mutations, evolutionary mechanisms, and practical applications.
The book is divided into five major units, covering theoretical foundations and applied aspects of genetics and evolutionary biology. Practical exercises, numerical problems, model questions, and references make this textbook an essential guide for students and educators.
