2nd PUC Biology Blueprint Karnataka Board
2nd PUC Biology Blueprint is a consolidated list of data to help you understand the exam pattern.
In 2nd PUC Biology, we will understand the physiological process of reproduction in flowering plants and humans, the principles of inheritance, the nature of genetic material and its function.
We will appreciate the achievements and applications of Biotechnology by learning the principles and processes of Biotechnology.
And finally let’s relate genes to evolution on one hand and ecological interactions, behaviour of population and ecosystem on the other.
So what are you waiting for ,Let’s begin the learning!!!
The weightage of the distribution Of marks over different dimensions of the question paper shall be as follows:
