Day 1: DNA Structure and Packaging

• What to Read: Start with the NCERT textbook for "DNA: Structure of Polynucleotide Chain" and "Structure & Packaging of DNA Helix." Pay attention to the structure of DNA, including base pairing and the double helix.
• Study Tips: Create flashcards with the key terms and structures to aid memory. Visualize the DNA structure.
• Resources: NCERT Textbook, Video

Day 2: Search for Genetic Material and Genetic Code

• What to Read: Continue with the NCERT textbook for "Search for Genetic Material" and "Genetic Code." Understand the experiments that led to the identification of DNA as the genetic material and the genetic code.
• Study Tips: Create a mind map to visualize the experiments and key findings.
• Resources: NCERT Textbook, Mindmap

Day 3: Translation and Human Genome Project

• What to Read: Dive into "Translation" and "Human Genome Project" from the NCERT textbook. Understand the process of protein synthesis and the significance of the Human Genome Project.
• Study Tips: Create flashcards with the steps of translation and important terms. Try to relate the Human Genome Project to real-life applications.
• Resources: NCERT Textbook, Summary

Day 4: DNA Fingerprinting and Transcription

• What to Read: Cover "DNA Fingerprinting" and "Transcription: Molecular Basis of Inheritance" in the NCERT textbook. Understand the principles of DNA fingerprinting and the process of transcription.
• Study Tips: Create mnemonics for the steps of transcription and the uses of DNA fingerprinting.
• Resources: NCERT Textbook, Mnemonics

Day 5: Regulation of Gene Expression and Enzymes: DNA

• What to Read: Conclude your study with "Regulation of Gene Expression" and "Enzymes: DNA" in the NCERT textbook. Understand how genes are regulated and the role of enzymes in DNA replication.
• Study Tips: Create a flowchart to illustrate gene regulation mechanisms. Focus on enzyme functions and their importance.
• Resources: NCERT Textbook, PPT

Day 6: Revision

• How to Revise: Review your flashcards, mind maps, and mnemonics created during the week. Go through important points from each topic.
• Study Tips: Use the Mindmap and Summary resources for quick revision. Solve questions from the NCERT textbook and the NEET previous year questions.

In the NEET exam, you'll encounter questions like the ones mentioned in below links. The best way to review and get better at the topics is to solve the questions. If you find a question tricky, it's a sign that you might not fully grasp that topic. In that case, it's a good idea to revisit the topic and study it again and solve more and more questions related to it.
