What is Genetics?
Genetics is the study of how traits such as hair color, eye color, and risk for
disease are passed (“inherited”) from parents to their children. Genetics
influence how these inherited traits can be different from person is the study of
genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms. It is generally
considered a field of biology, but intersects frequently with many other life
sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems to person.
The scientific study of heredity. Genetics pertains to humans and all other
organisms. So, for example, there is human genetics, mouse genetics, fruit fly
genetics, etc.
Your genetic information is called your genetic code or “genome.” Your genome
is made up of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and is stored in
almost every cell in your body.

Molecular genetics
• is the field of biology and genetics that studies the structure and
function of genes at a molecular level. Molecular genetics
employs the methods of genetics and molecular biology to
elucidate molecular function and interactions among genes. It is
so-called to differentiate it from other sub fields of genetics such
as ecological genetics and population genetics.
