Overview
CBSE Class 12 Biology has both Theory and Practical Exams. The CBSE Class 12 Biology Theory exam is conducted for 70 marks whereas the Practical exam carries the remaining 30 marks. Before getting into the details of the CBSE Class 12 Biology Syllabus/Biology Class 12 syllabus, let’s have an overview of the units under the Grade 12 Biology Syllabus.
Unit VI Reproduction
Unit VII Genetics and Evolution
Unit VIII Biology and Human Welfare
Unit IX Biotechnology and its Applications
Unit X Ecology and Environment
TERM I
Unit-VI Reproduction
Chapter-2: Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Flower structure; development of male and female gametophytes; pollination - types, agencies and examples; outbreeding devices; pollen-pistil interaction; double fertilization; post fertilization events - development of endosperm and embryo, development of seed and formation of fruit; special modes- apomixis, parthenocarpy, polyembryony; Significance of seed dispersal and fruit formation.
Chapter-3: Human Reproduction
Male and female reproductive systems; microscopic anatomy of testis and ovary; gametogenesis - spermatogenesis and oogenesis; menstrual cycle; fertilisation, embryo development upto blastocyst formation, implantation; pregnancy and placenta formation (elementary idea); parturition (elementary idea); lactation (elementary idea).
Chapter-4: Reproductive Health
Need for reproductive health and prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs); birth control - need and methods, contraception and medical termination of pregnancy (MTP); amniocentesis; infertility and assisted reproductive technologies - IVF, ZIFT, GIFT (elementary idea for general awareness).
Unit-VII Genetics and Evolution
Chapter-5: Principles of Inheritance and Variation
Heredity and variation: Mendelian inheritance; deviations from Mendelism – incomplete dominance, co-dominance, multiple alleles and inheritance of blood groups, pleiotropy; elementary idea of polygenic inheritance; chromosome theory of inheritance; chromosomes and genes; Sex determination - in human being, birds and honey bee; linkage and crossing over; sex linked inheritance - haemophilia, colour blindness; Mendelian disorders in humans -thalassemia; chromosomal disorders in humans; Down's syndrome, Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes.
Chapter-6: Molecular Basis of Inheritance
Search for genetic material and DNA as genetic material; Structure of DNA and RNA; DNA packaging; DNA replication; Central Dogma; transcription, genetic code, translation; gene expression and regulation - lac operon; Genome, Human and rice genome projects; DNA fingerprinting.
TERM II

Unit-X Ecology and Environment
Chapter-13: Organisms and Populations
Organisms and environment: Habitat and niche, population and ecological adaptations; population interactions - mutualism, competition, predation, parasitism; population attributes - growth, birth rate and death rate, age distribution.
Chapter-15: Biodiversity and its Conservation
Biodiversity - Concept, patterns, importance; loss of biodiversity; biodiversity conservation; hotspots, endangered organisms, extinction, Red Data Book, Sacred Groves, biosphere reserves, national parks, wildlife, sanctuaries and Ramsar sites.
PRACTICAL COURSE
TERM I
1. Isolate DNA from available plant material such as spinach, green pea seeds, papaya, etc.
2. Prepare a temporary mount to observe pollen germination.
TERM II
3. Prepare a temporary mount of onion root tip to study mitosis.
4. Collect water from two different water bodies around you and study them for pH, clarity and presence of any living organism
5. Collect and study soil from at least two different sites and study them for texture, moisture
content, pH and water holding capacity. Correlate with the kinds of plants found in them.

OLExpert’s pricing is dependent on the plan you choose. Plans vary as per grade and the exam a student is preparing for. Also, students can customize the topics as per the requirement. The quality of OLExpert’s content is really great and made it in a very interactive manner.
Video Lectures: OLExpert’s online lecture is an educational lecture designed to be posted online. Lectures are recorded to video, audio, or both, then uploaded and made viewable on a designated site. Videos lectures increase student engagement, which in turn helps boost achievement. If students are interested in the material, they will process and remember it better.
PDF Notes: Creating short notes, highlighting pertinent points, and making these as easy to access, organize and reference as possible should become a priority. This will ultimately help with information retention, as the concentration and active listening it requires will fire up cognitive processes that enhance learning.
Practice Questions: Questions have long been used as a teaching tool by teachers and preceptors to assess students' knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject matter.
