  • 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.
