Unit- III, IV & V of Second year
 In the last and concluding part of the series of EAMCET model papers, in the second year syllabus Unit-III , Unit-IV and Unit-V is being discussed. All are of the related topics dealing with classical and molecular genetics. Some sub-sections of Molecular genetics are a new addition to the old syllabus. Both long term and regular students feel difficult to understand these chapters. Most of the question will be knowledge based and easy questions. Problems on DNA and genetics is a regular feature in EAMCET exams. One or two problems may be given from these units. Practice is essential for this type of questions to save time on solving the questions. In Biotechnology part of the syllabus not more than one question can be expected whereas in the application part knowledge based questions can be asked.
