Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molecular basis of inheritance?
Molecular basis of inheritance involves the study of genes, genetic variations and heredity. It explains how an offspring looks similar to the parents. DNA, RNA and genetic code form the basis of the molecular basis of inheritance. They transmit the hereditary genes from the parents to the offspring.
How does DNA play a role in the molecular basis of inheritance?
DNA carries all the genetic information
