Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.

The Class 12 Biology sample paper covers topics like competition, recombinant DNA technology, immunity, and population dynamics.
