What to Focus On

  • Heredity means passing biological characters from parents to offspring through genes.
  • Mendel is the pioneer of modern genetics.
  • Hugo de Vries explained sudden changes through the mutational theory in 1901.
  • DNA stores the information for protein synthesis.
  • RNA contains uracil instead of thymine.
  • Transcription is RNA synthesis from DNA.
  • Mutation means change in a gene due to nucleotide position change.
  • Mutations may be minor or considerable.
  • Sickle cell anaemia is caused by mutation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heredity and evolution mean the same thing.

DNA and RNA are the same genetic material and use the same bases.

Transcription, translation, and translocation are just different names for the same process.
