students interacting with Dr. Kalyan 

          The guest lecture was delivered by  Dr. C. Kalyan professor in pinnamineni medical college, in which he explained the laws of Mendel and how the  innovative concepts developed based on his work, he also explained various discoveries in genetics and their implementations and their role in the fields of medicine, molecular biology and bio-technology.

     Mendel undertook several breeding experiments with peas and thus he deduced the general rules of inheritance. His work was purely phenomenological, as he didn't understand how the characteristics were being passed down from generation to generation, but his works (when rediscovered) were a good start, as he was among the first biologists to use mathematical methods in his experiments.

           He interacted with the students and he clarified the doubts raised by students in various diseases. Dr.B. Siva Kumari ,H.O.D of Botany welcomed the gathering and the session ended with the vote of thanks from    Mr. P. Srinivas rao.

                                    Staff and students of life sciences took an active part during the lecture.
