Welcome to this detailed and engaging video on the "Molecular Basis of Inheritance" – a core topic in Class 12 Biology and a fundamental concept in genetics and molecular biology. Whether you are a student preparing for your CBSE exams, NEET, or simply curious about how life passes on traits from one generation to another, this video will guide you through the intricate world of genes, DNA, and the molecular machinery of inheritance.

In this session, we delve into the structural and functional aspects of DNA – the molecule that carries genetic information in almost all living organisms. You will learn about the landmark discovery by Watson and Crick that unveiled the double-helix structure of DNA, a breakthrough that revolutionized biological science. We’ll also discuss the historical experiments by Griffith, Avery, and Hershey-Chase that helped establish DNA as the genetic material.
The video explains DNA replication in a simplified and visual format, showing how DNA duplicates itself using enzymes like DNA polymerase to ensure genetic continuity. You'll understand the significance of semi-conservative replication and how errors in this process can lead to mutations.
We also explore the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. Detailed explanations of transcription (the process of making RNA from DNA) and translation (the process of making proteins from RNA) are included, along with discussions about the genetic code, codons, and the role of ribosomes and tRNA in protein synthesis.
Furthermore, this video highlights the differences between DNA and RNA, the types of RNA involved in gene expression (mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA), and how gene expression is regulated at various levels in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Special focus is given to operon models like the lac operon, which helps explain how bacteria control gene expression in response to environmental changes. We also briefly touch on mutations, their causes, and how they affect protein synthesis and inheritance.
With well-labeled diagrams, real-world examples, and easy-to-follow explanations, this video is ideal for visual learners and those looking for a conceptual understanding. It can be used as a complete revision for board exams or competitive tests.
