The molecular basis of inheritance refers to the process by which genetic information is stored, replicated, and transmitted from one generation to the next through the structure and function of DNA and RNA molecules. This MCQ on Molecular Basis of Inheritance will help you to understand the concept clearly. Molecular […]
The lac operon and trp operon are genetic regulatory systems in prokaryotes. The lac operon controls the expression of genes responsible for lactose metabolism, allowing bacteria to use lactose as a carbon source. The trp operon regulates genes involved in tryptophan synthesis, ensuring its production when tryptophan is scarce. This […]
