DNA and Genetics

Categories Biology, Genetics

Course Description

DNA and Genetics is a captivating biology course that unlocks the blueprint of life itself. Every organism, from microbes to mammals, is guided by a molecular instruction manual called DNA—Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This lesson explores the elegant structure of DNA, how it encodes genetic information, and how it shapes everything from physical traits to biological functions.

By understanding DNA, learners gain insight into heredity, evolution, and the molecular mechanisms that drive life. Whether you’re curious about your own genetic makeup or fascinated by the science behind inheritance, this course offers a clear and engaging journey into the heart of biology

What You’ll Learn

🧬 By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Describe the basic structure of DNA, including nucleotides and the double helix
  • Understand how DNA stores and transmits genetic information
  • Explain the role of DNA in heredity and the determination of traits
  • Recognize the importance of DNA in biological processes such as replication, transcription, and protein synthesis

Who This Course Is For

This course is ideal for learners who want to understand the molecular foundation of life. It’s especially valuable for students, educators, and anyone curious about genetics, inheritance, and how traits are passed from one generation to the next.
