P. S. Verma and V. K. Agarwal
Preface
The multicoloured edition of the textbook of Cell Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Evolution and Ecology is the outcome of sincere and combined efforts of the authors and editors (namely shishar Bhatnagar, Shubha Pradhan, Malini Kothiyal) and young but talented persons of DTP of S.Chand & Company Ltd. Their main motive remained to provide relevant coloured photographs explaining various intricate biological topics. Multicoloured figures and photographs of this edition would help our target read-ers to understand and fully appreciate the very gist of the subject matter. Authors and editors have remained quite choosy and vigilant regarding relevance and authenticity of each and every illustration/picture finding its place in this textbook.
Authors earnestly hope that this multicoloured edition of the textbook of Cell Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Evolution and Ecology will enhance the curiosity of our target readers to know more and more about the subject. It will arm them with latest information for facing any type of exam quite adequately.
This book is meant for students of B.Sc., B.Sc. (Hons;.) and M.Sc. of biological group. Students appearing in entrance exams of C.P.M.T., I.F.S., P.C.S. and 1.A.S., etc, may be immensely benefited by this book.
Authors wish to express their thanks to Shri R.K. Gupta, the Managing Director, Mr. Navin loshi, the General Manager of Ws S.Chand & Co. Ltd., New Delhi, for all their efforts to make this endeavour a pleasant surprise to the readers.
