Re: WBJEE Syllabus Biology

As you want I am here providing you syllabus of the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Biological Science .

West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Biological Science Syllabus:


Science of Life : Basic unit of life process; Cell Theory; prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells – structure and differences.

Ultra structure and functions of cellular components : Cell wall, Plasma membrane, Plastid, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Lysosomes, Nucleus, Centrosomes, Cilia, Flagella.

Chemical constituents of living cells : Classification, components and structural properties of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids; enzymes, enzymatic action ( lock and key, allosterism, regulation )

Chromosome : Morphology of chromosomes; brief idea of polytene chromosomes; euchromatin and heterochromatin; nucleic acids as genetic material ( viral transduction and bacterial transformation )

Cell division : Cell cycle; mitosis – definition and significance ( process not required ); meiosis- process, types and significance; difference between mitosis and meiosis.

Genetics and Evolution :

Mendelian inheritance ( laws only ); deviations from Mendelism – (i) incomplete dominance, (ii) codominance, (iii) multiple alleles and inheritance of blood groups ( ABO, Rh ); phylogenetic inheritance ( elementary ); chromosome theory of inheritance; chromosomes and genes; sex determination in humans, birds and honey bees; linkage and crossing over; sex-linked inheritance – haemophilia, colour blindness; Mendelian disorders in humans – (i) autosomal (a) Thalassemia (b) Down syndrome; (ii) sex-linked (a) Turner’s syndrome (b) Klinefelter’s syndrome ( cause and symptoms only )

Molecular basis of inheritance :

DNA as the genetic material ( Griffith, Avery – MacLeod – McCarty and Hershey – Chase experiments ); structure of DNA and RNA; types of RNA – mRNA, rRNA and t-RNA; DNA packaging; central dogma ( elementary ); DNA replication; transcription; genetic code; translation; elementary knowledge of regulation of gene expression (lac operon); DNA finger printing ( basic idea only )

Evolution :

Origin of life – theories of origin of life; abiogenic origin / chemical origin of life – Oparin- Haldane hypothesis; biological evolution – evidences, theories of organic evolution, Darwin’s contribution, synthetic theory; mechanism of evolution – variation and its sources of origin, mutation, recombination; gene flow and genetic drift; Hardy – Weinberg principle; human evolution – an outline.

Morphological variations and structural organization : Plant tissue and tissue system- types, structure and functions; animal tissue- classification, structure and functions in brief.
