The Molecular Biology Cycle of Study aims to explore the interactions of some biomolecules and the principles of inheritance. We will explore DNA and its attributes, and then move into how the cell makes proteins (the most important thing most cells do). We then focus on understanding how genetic traits are passed to offspring, including how gametes are produced. Finally, we finish the Cycle with a look at the exciting field of biotechnology.

What You Will Learn

You will learn about how the structure of DNA holds information about how to assemble proteins, and the path of a protein in a cell. DNA sometimes has some problems being copied, so you will learn about mutations and how they can affect the entire organism. Furthermore, you will learn about the type of cell division that is used to produce gametes, and the methods used in biotechnology to use cellular products to solve problems in society.
