Study Notes
Molecular Inheritance
- The primary focus of molecular inheritance is the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next at the molecular level.
Genetic Information Carrier
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) serves as the primary carrier of genetic information in molecular inheritance.
Epigenetics in Molecular Inheritance
- Epigenetics plays a crucial role in molecular inheritance by influencing gene expression without altering the DNA sequence itself.
- Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, can affect how genetic information is interpreted and used by cells.
