Molecular Basis of Inheritance
Biology Solutions from Chapter -1 - Molecular Basis of Inheritance
In this chapter, we are going to learn the structure of DNA, its replication, transcription, genetic code, translation and regulation of gene expression in detail. Further, it discusses the essentials of human genomic sequences and its consequences.
Practice Other Topics from Molecular Basis of Inheritance
We have studied the mechanism of inheritance at the molecular level. Here, we shall understand that DNA is the genetic material through the Hershey-Chase experiment. Further, it provides the properties of genetic material.
This topic briefs on the structure of DNA and the polynucleotide chain. It also explains the process of packaging of DNA helix.
This topic highlights the evidences to prove that life processes evolved around RNA. RNA acts as a genetic material as well as a catalyst.
Replication is the process in which the DNA strands would separate and act as a template strand for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This topic explains the process of semi-conservative DNA replication with experimental proof.
Transcription is the process of transferring genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA. This topic describes the three regions in the DNA transcription unit. It briefs on the types of RNA in bacteria and the process of transcription in bacteria.
Genetic codes carry the genetic information required for the synthesis of protein. This topic describes the salient features of genetic code and illustrates the various codons for the amino acids. It also discusses gene mutation.
The translation is the process of synthesis of protein from RNA. This topic describes the various stages involved in the process of translation.
This topic highlights the four levels, where gene expression in eukaryotes could be regulated. Further, it explains the elucidation of lac operon with its schematic representation.
Human genome project is associated with the rapid development of bioinformatics. This topic describes the goal and salient features of human genome project. Further, it discusses its application and future challenges.
DNA fingerprinting is the method used to recognize and analyse the variations present in individuals of a population at the DNA level. This topic describes the various stages involved in the process of DNA fingerprinting with schematic representation.
