Does the last third of the night end with hearing the Adhan of Fajr, and is Salatul-Subh (the Dawn Prayer) different from Salatul-Fajr (the Fajr Prayer), and is it true that there is a Takbir for the Sunnah but not for the Fard?

The last third of the night ends with the break of dawn, at which point the time for the Fajr — or Subh — prayer begins. This is an obligatory prayer, preceded by two rak'ahs of Sunnah prayer known as "Sunnat Al-Fajr." Both prayers — the Sunnah and the obligatory — begin with the Takbeerat Al-Ihram.
