Genetics is a branch of Biology that studies all the parameters as to how and in what manner an organism transfers its characters to the offspring. Genetic mechanisms are studied from various stand points such as classical genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology etc.Principles of Molecular Genetics aims to study the genetic phenomena with a molecular approach. Aspects of classical genetics are also given as without them it is impossible to understand the mechanism of heredity. Along, however emphasis has been laid on molecular mechanisms. As such the book of and prokaryotes. In its 14 chapters the book deals with the properties of the genetic material keeping it in the framework of its physics and chemistry, replication, function, mutation, recombination (both eu and prokaryotic), regulation etc. The book is meant to be a text for students of life science, pharmacy, agriculture etc. at the graduate and post graduate level.
