Genetics is the branch of biology that studies genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. It explores how traits and characteristics are passed from one generation to the next through the inheritance of genes, which are segments of DNA that contain instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms. Genetics encompasses various areas, including the identification of gene functions, the mechanisms of genetic variation, and the application of this knowledge in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. It plays a crucial role in understanding biological processes, the evolution of species, and the basis of genetic disorders.
