About GeneticsLearn More

Genetics is the science of studying genes, genetic diversity and inheritance, i.e. how they are inherited from parents to children in all living organisms. By the rules and concepts in this science, we can determine the similarities and differences between living organisms and know how and why such similarity or dissimilarity has arisen within a human or plant community. Every living organism has a genetic material called DNA, which is passed from parents to children during reproduction. This substance is responsible for all the characteristics of every creature, and in fact, genetic science deals with the detailed examination of how these characteristics are transmitted.
