The molecular basis of inheritance refers to the processes by which genetic information is passed from one generation to the next. This genetic information is encoded in DNA, which is a long, double-stranded molecule that is made up of four nucleotide bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
A The process by which genetic information is passed from DNA to RNA is called transcription. During transcription, a specific sequence of nucleotides in the DNA molecule is copied into a single-stranded RNA molecule. This RNA molecule, called messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, which are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. The process by which the genetic information in mRNA is used to synthesize proteins is called translation. During translation, the mRNA molecule is read by the ribosomes, which use the information to synthesize a specific sequence of amino acids. These amino acids are then assembled into a protein molecule. The specific sequence of nucleotides in the DNA molecule that encodes a particular protein is called a gene. Each gene codes for a specific sequence of amino acids, which determines the structure and function of the protein it encodes. dd Your Heading Text Here
