Biology In Life (BIL)


Bio(life)-logy(study)
Studying biology is wonderful experience in our life. In 12th standard we will be having many general questions. When some experts gave lecture in front of 12 th standard students their knowledge as well as students knowledge will also improve.

I do not know why there are many questions which are unsolved yet! I think answer is biology consists of much more minute particles, many people are working on such particles or things (because these are living beings, here we should not consider as particles). Like our Venkatraman invented the structure for Ribosome.Similarly many of them gave for DNA, Protein etc.,

Prof.Smt.Shanbag gave wonderful lecture on Evolution of Life and Biodiversity. She showed some slides on replicating DNA, Test tube babies, Reproduction, Vaccines, Bio Nanotechnology, Biochemistry.

After lecture there will be interaction hour as it will be everywhere. So here I m not concentrating on the lecture part, but mainly concentrating on interaction hour. KCD students well known for their thinking , intelligence and IQ. How they took us to Mythology and the Science. Indians are genius earlier because Valmiki wrote Mahabharata, Vyasa wrote Ramayana these two are with nice imagination those were beyond our limits. Still now, we always think

1) How Gandhari gave berth to 101 Kauravas?

2) How Ravana has 10 heads?

3)Third eye of the Lord Shiva?

these are typical questions in mythology.

Now we will try to relate these questions with Science means biology. 101 Kauravas or babies to give berth in one life span it is not possible, nowadays test tube babies are similar one where they will collect egg's from mother, sperms from the father those will be grown in some other ovary. Like this it is possible to produce 100 babies of one mother or female. Actually they were grown in Drona(like petri dish) as mentioned in Mahabharata of Valmiki.


Ravana has 10 heads, in science it is impossible for one person. But 2 or 3 heads are possible if 3 head genes become dominant they will suppress other genes like hand one or leg one, So in fertilization growth of those hand or leg will be stopped instead of that extra heads will form. In physics terminology it is a defect or dislocation.

Third eye of Lord shiva is also a genetic disorder in which skin genes will be suppressed by eye gene which is dominant.These are all biological explanation regarding the mythology.

I got the clarification after six year when my students asked the same questions to Prof.Smt.Shanbhag which were in my mind when I was in 12th standard.
