Important Point For CSIR NET Exam

CSIR-UGC-JRF-NET Life Sciences-Notes (Syllabus wise) 

•Bio molecules (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic acids and Vitamins).

We have given GRE practice tests for Bio molecules, the pattern of GRE is somewhat similar to CSIR. Go through that questions also.

• Stabilizing interactions
• pH, buffer, molarity, normality  
• Membrane structure and function
• Operon
• Cell organelles
• Cell division, checkpoints, cyclins involved and cell cycle
• Cellular communications: Tight junction, Gap Junctions ..
• DNA replication enzymes involved
• Transcription- translation Enzymes involved
• Inhibitors, mode of action of antibiotics
• Post- translational modification of proteins
• Cell signalling: Hormones and their receptors, cell surface receptor, signalling through G- protein coupled receptors.
• Oncology: Mode of action of tumor suppressor genes like p53, rB etc
• Anticancer drugs source & mode of action example: tamoxifen is an estrogen receptor blocker, Methotrexate
• Specific immune cells affected by diseases eg: HIV virus attacks T helper cells, Mycobacterium tuberculosis attacks macrophages
• Different types of immunoglobulinsand its importance
• MHCs
• Autoimmune disorders
• Cell signalling: Hormones and their receptors, cell surface receptor, signalling through G- protein coupled receptors.
• Photosynthesis - C3 , C4 and CAM pathways.
• Respiration
• Nitrogen metabolism
• Plant hormones :Precursors and functions
• Phytochromes, Secondary metabolites synthesis, pathways
• Flowering genes in plants
• Mendelian ratio + statistics.
• Extra chromosomal inheritance: Inheritance of Mitochondrial and chloroplast genes, maternal inheritance.
• Microbial genetics:  transformation, conjugation, transduction especially Hfr prophage.
• Cot curve analysis
• Human genetics : Pedigree analysis, genetic disorders. (Genetics Problems)
• ABO blood group
• Structural and numerical alterations of chromosomes : Deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation, ploidy and their genetic implications.
• Mitotic and meiotic Non-disjunction 
  
  
• Darwinisms; The evolutionary synthesis.
• Origin of cells and unicellular evolution: endosymbiotic theory. Concept of Oparin and Haldane; Experiment of Miller (1953); 
  
  
• Rule’s In ecology (Allens’ rule, Bergman’s rule, Gloger’s rule, Yoda’s Law)
• Geological time scale (make some codes in order to remember).
• Gene pool, Gene frequency; Hardy-Weinberg Law; concepts and rate of change in gene frequency through natural selection. (Genetics Problems)
• Speciation, allpatry and sympatry, convergent, divergent and parallel evolution.
• Major Biomes of the World
• Biosphere Reserve and Sanctuaries
• Endangered: plants, animals and birds (In India)

• Techniques in molecular biology and its applications 
• Microscopic Techniques
