An explainer on transcription, the vital biological process of copying DNA to RNA, and its connection to human health, aging, and disease.
Discover nucleic acids, the essential macromolecules like DNA and RNA that store genetic information and direct all cellular activities in living organisms.
The core mechanism of evolution where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, passing on their successful traits.
Discover the fundamental principles of heredity. Learn how Mendelian inheritance explains how traits are passed from parents to their offspring.
Discover meiosis, the special cell division that creates sex cells and introduces the genetic variation essential for life and evolution.
Explore incomplete dominance, a genetic pattern where a heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous parents. Learn how it works.
Discover genetic drift, the random change in gene frequencies in a population. Learn how this key evolutionary force shapes life's diversity.
Discover the power of a dominant allele in genetics. Learn how this single gene variant expresses its trait over its recessive counterpart.
Discover chromosomes, the thread-like structures made of DNA that carry our genetic information and define our inherited traits.
