Foundations of Molecular Genetics for NEET and IJSO Prep

Understanding genetics at the molecular level is essential for cracking competitive science exams and building a strong foundation in modern biology. This text-based course demystifies the complex structures and processes that govern how genetic information is stored, replicated, and expressed. You will transition from memorizing terms to deeply understanding the biochemical mechanisms of life, equipping you with the conceptual clarity needed to tackle challenging exam questions. What you'll learn: 1. Learn key terminology and historical experiments that shaped our understanding of molecular inheritance. 2. Understand the structural components of DNA and RNA, including nucleotide pairing and double-helix properties. 3. Explain the mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription, and translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. 4. Analyze the regulation of gene expression using foundational models like the Lac Operon. 5. Explore modern genetic technologies, including the basics of DNA sequencing and gene editing tools like CRISPR. 6. Practice solving conceptual genetics problems through structured written exercises. The course begins with foundational biochemical definitions before guiding you step-by-step through genetic replication, protein synthesis, and gene regulation, concluding with an introduction to modern molecular techniques. Designed for beginners and students preparing for competitive science exams, this course requires no prior advanced biology knowledge.
