Genetics and Evaluation is an important chapter which carries around 18% weightage. A few questions are asked from this chapters and Molecular Basis of Inheritance is one of the most crucial part of this. Various questions can be asked from this section. Going by previous year exam papers, we can mark a few topics which can be important for this year so you can focus more on these parts. Hershey and Chases experiment, nucleic acid synthesis, Non-sense codons, processes in translation, lac-operon, gene sequence, Genetic Code, full forms related to this,  DNA Fingerprinting, Central Dogma, Histones - are some important topics for NEET this year.
