Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: Discovery of DNA as Genetic Material, Structure of DNA, RNA and Its Types.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 42 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Molecular Inheritance and Gene Expression after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Griffith discovered transformation in bacteria.
  • Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty identified DNA as the transforming principle.
  • Hershey and Chase used radioactive labeling to prove DNA is the genetic material.
  • DNA is a double helix with antiparallel strands.
  • Nucleotides consist of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base.
  • A-T and G-C base pairing follows Chargaff’s rule.
  • Nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging.
  • Histones are positively charged proteins that bind negatively charged DNA.
  • Packaging levels: nucleosome → solenoid → chromatin loops → chromosome.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

DNA and RNA are almost the same—just one has thymine and the other has uracil.

The genetic code is overlapping—each nucleotide is part of multiple codons.

mRNA is made from the entire DNA strand during transcription.
