Origin of Genetics and Molecular biology



Genetics is the study of heredity, the process by which characters are passed from parents to their offsprings, so that all offsprings resemble their parents.

The first Geneticists had mainly worked how characters are transmitted from parents to offsprings and how genes act together to control variable traits such as length, height, coat colour, flower colour etc. They developed the central; concept of Genetics. According to this concept heredity is controlled by large number of genes, that are located on the chromosomes. These are called ‘hereditary vehicles’. During 1930s beginning was made to apply biochemical and biophysical methods for the study of chemical nature of gene. This led to a new branch of genetics-Molecular biology. This new approach led to the concept that genes are units of biological information. The geneticists and molecular biologists are working together to understand the way in which biological information is stored in genes and how this information is made available to living cell for its maintenance and division.

Because of close association and interdependence between genetics and molecular biology the term Molecular genetics is now used. It is that branch of biology that is concerned with the study of all aspects of gene.

Introduction to BioChemistry-Tech Blog

Today in the era of applied science, our day to day life is surrounded by use science. We, the science students are always try to find the deep secret of every thing which are happening around as. The secret of everything in the field of biological, chemical or physical science should reveal by more study and more research and more interest to gain knowledge. This is a smal effort to gain knowledge and to research in the technical  field of bio-chemistry.

Biochemistry is a very vast branch of modern science and modern applied science. Starting from soil ending at humans, all living and non-living things are related to biochemical world. So this is an unendurable study of this world. All living things are made up of biological and chemical elements and all non-living are made up of chemical  substances. The study of bio-tech and bio-chem-tech introduces as a lot of branches such as :-

  1. Genetics
  2. Molecular and cellular physiology
  3. Molecular pharmacology  
  4. Recombinant technology(DNA)  
  5. Structural biology 
  6. Developmental biology
  7. Microbiology
  8. Immunology
  9. Pathology
  10. Neurobiology
  11. Chemistry
  12. Agricultural and husbandry science and etc      

We have a very good scope to jump up in this branch of science and to more research study.
