The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of interactive technologies in teaching biology on the subject of preservation and realization of genetic information. The research was conducted in secondary school classes using interactive simulations, digital quizzes, and collaborative tasks. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests and student surveys. Results indicated significant improvement in students’ comprehension, engagement, and retention of material. The findings highlight the potential of interactive approaches to enhance understanding of complex genetic processes and to foster active learning in biology education. The integration of technology also contributed to the development of students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These results can be applied to improve teaching strategies in other complex scientific topics
