Hello aspirant, Yes, it's possible to pursue genetics with Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology without studying Mathematics and Physics at the 12th grade level.
While some universities might prefer candidates with a strong foundation in Mathematics and Physics, especially for certain genetics-related fields like bioinformatics or computational biology, it's not always a strict requirement for a B.Sc. in Life Science with a specialization in genetics.
Here's why:
However, it's essential to check the specific requirements of the universities you're considering. Some institutions might have additional prerequisites or recommend certain subjects for a smoother transition into the genetics field.
In conclusion, while a strong foundation in Mathematics and Physics can be beneficial, it's not always a mandatory requirement for pursuing genetics at the undergraduate level. By carefully considering the specific requirements of your chosen universities and taking advantage of elective courses, you can successfully pursue a B.Sc. in Life Science with a specialization in genetics.
I hope this information helps you.
There is also scope present after completing a BSc Botany degree in Institutions like IISER, TIFR, and NCBS. They offer you MSc-integrated PhD courses for biological sciences microbiology, biotechnology, zoology, life sciences, botany, molecular biology, genetics, and so on.
Microbiology not only deals about Botany but also Ecology, Physiology and Zoology. If you are interested in attaining knowledge in multiple disciplines, you can choose M.Sc in Microbiology. The course inculcates knowledge on organisms and their relationship with the environment
eligibility for human genetics
The student must complete their graduation in Botany, Genetics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Molecular Biology, and Biomedical Sciences, etc. with a minimum of 55% from a UGC recognized University.
Securing a seat in Osmania University or JNTU Hyderabad with a CPGET rank of 433 for Biochemistry, Environmental Science, Forensic Science, Genetics, or Microbiology is quite possible.
These universities are renowned for their science programs, and your rank indicates a strong performance. However, the final decision depends on several factors:
To increase your chances:
While your rank is promising, it's essential to participate actively in the admission process and explore all available options.
hope this helps you!!

Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. If you pay close attention to soap advertisements, you may hear of its pH value being claimed to be perfect for human skin. But is there really such a thing? Let's start at the beginning. pH (potential hydrogen) is defined as the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. pH values range between 0 and 14.7 is the neutral point, 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline. More importantly, your skin isn't exactly pH 5.5; it falls in a range between 4.0 and 7.0, depending on diverse factors like the body part, age, genetics, ethnicity, and environmental conditions.
So, are products formulated at pH 5.5 perfect for skin? The short answer: not really! First, parameters like texture and other ingredients indicate a cleanser's quality, much better than pH alone. Second, though the skin pH rises slightly immediately after cleaning even with plain water, it reverts to its mild acidic pH in an hour. Healthy skin quickly rebalances the 'acid mantle' - a protective layer over the skin—and is unaffected in the long term by the cleanser's pH. Skin modulates pH, making skin products function optimally. So, why market pH 5.5 products as "perfect"? Well, for certain skin types (e.g., oily skin) and certain skin conditions (like acne), an increase in pH can aggravate these skin situations. This might lead to an interpretation that a skin care product needs to be at a pH for optimum cleansing. Hence, skincare experts have expressed reservations about pH being the sole criterion of product safety and 'acid mantle' preservation when factors including plain water may contribute to the same. Thus, an ideal product is almost impossible to define. So, look well beyond pH alone.
Question: According to the passage, the pH value of human skin is generally:
Option 1: between 7 and 14
Option 2: 5.5
Option 3: between 0 and 7
Option 4: between 4 and 7
Correct Answer: between 4 and 7
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation: According to the passage, the pH value of human skin is generally in a range between 4.0 and 7.0, depending on various factors like body parts, age, genetics, ethnicity, and environmental conditions.
Therefore, the correct answer is, between 4 and 7.
Question : There are certain words missing in the passage given below. The options given contain an answer that will fit in those given blanks. Choose the correct word to be used to make the sentence coherent and grammatically correct.

Scientists who conducted genetic and 4) ___________________ analyses of the remains have now confirmed that the bones are 165 years old. All of them are adult males from Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and eastern Uttar Pradesh, a paper published on Thursday in the journal Frontiers in Genetics that describes the analyses said. The theory that the remains could belong to 5) __________________ of mass violence during partition was easy to rule out, since coins with engravings of Queen Victoria and the year of their make were also retrieved during the excavation. None of the marks dated beyond 1856.
Q. Choose the correct word to be used in blank 4.
Option 1: humble
Option 2: chemical
Option 3: lofty
Option 4: modest
Correct Answer: chemical
Solution : The correct answer is chemical.
Scientists who conducted genetic and chemical analyses of the remains have now confirmed that the bones are 165 years old.
Explanation:
Chemical is the only word that will fit the blank and make the sentence coherent. It means having something to do with chemistry or the interactions of substances as studied in chemistry.
Meaning of the rest of the words
Humble- having or displaying a modest or low opinion of one's own importance.
Lofty- of imposing stature.
Modest: unassuming in one's assessment of one's skills or accomplishments.
