DR. SYED ZAKIR HUSAIN JANHAVI VISHWAKARMA
CERTIFICATE
I have great pleasure in forwarding this dissertation project work of Janhavi Vishwakarma
entitled the study of "DNA STRUCTURE AND DNA REPLICATION IN
PROKARYOTES" during the study of M.Sc II semester in Zoology to
V.B.S.Purvanchal Univercity Jaunpur.
Janhavi Vishwakarma has put more than 6 months for the project work in the laboratory
under my guidance and in my knowledge and belief the dissertation project embodies the
work done by the candidates herself.
Forwarded
I sincerely thanks to Dr. Sanjay kr. Pandey, Dr. Anurag Mishra and
Miss Vishakha Jaiswal, Sr. Lecturer Department of Zoology for their
academic helps in the laboratory and for the valuable suggestions and
guidance during the work.
