Introduction:

Living organisms possess genetic information and that information is coded in the form of nucleotide sequences present on the nucleic acids:DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid). The study of such biological processes related to nucleic acids is classified into several groups for their better understanding. These groups include molecular biologyand genetics.
