  1. Molecular - It means something related to molecules, like DNA, which transfers the genetic information.
  2. Inheritance- It means the transfer of genetic information from one generation to the next.

So, the molecular basis of inheritance means how DNA functions as the primary molecular structure for the storing, transferring, and expressing of genetic information. It involves the DNA replication that uses each strand as a template to precisely replicate the genetic material. The DNA is converted into mRNA by transcription, which is later translated into proteins - this defines an organism's traits.
