Chapter 6 – Molecular Basis of Inheritance
The Molecular Basis of Inheritance chapter explains how genetic information is stored, expressed, and transferred from one generation to the next. It focuses on DNA as the genetic material and describes its structure, replication, and role in controlling biological processes. The chapter also explains how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA and then to proteins through the processes of transcription and translation. In addition, it covers important concepts such as the genetic code, regulation of gene expression, and the role of mutations in creating genetic variation. Understanding these molecular mechanisms helps explain how traits are inherited and how life functions at the cellular level. These concepts are important for both Class 12 board exams and NEET preparation.
