The document discusses molecular biology concepts like DNA structure, transcription, translation and protein synthesis. It also covers inheritance principles like Punnett squares, genotypes and phenotypes.

DNA is made up of nucleotides containing a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and nitrogenous base. It takes the form of the double helix with the bases pairing with each other. The bases are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine.

Transcription is the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into mRNA by RNA polymerase in the nucleus. It involves unwinding of the DNA double helix and synthesis of mRNA using complementary base pairing.
