    study of heredity and variation in living organisms

    Genetics is the study of how traits and characteristics are passed down from parents to their offspring through genes. It involves understanding the structure, function, and behavior of genes, which are segments of DNA that carry the instructions for making proteins and other molecules essential for life. This field helps explain why individuals inherit certain physical features, susceptibilities to diseases, and other biological attributes.
