Cellular and Molecular Biology: Mendelian and Molecular Genetics Quiz

DNA is the blueprint for life. It contains the chemical information essential for reproducing new life from old. Replication, transcription, and translation of DNA underlies the creation of new cells which grow into new organisms. The biological laws governing these activities were discovered long ago by Gregor Mendel. Today, we understand how the structure of DNA underpins Mendel's laws, and we can modify DNA and transfer genes across the normal boundaries of species and even kingdoms.
