Genetics and Heredity
Genetics and heredity are foundational pillars in understanding the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. Within every organism's DNA lies a complex code that determines its unique characteristics, ranging from physical attributes to predispositions for certain diseases. Through the study of genetics, scientists unravel the intricate mechanisms governing inheritance, shedding light on evolutionary processes and providing invaluable insights into human health and development. From Mendel's pioneering experiments with pea plants to modern genomic advancements, the field of genetics continues to captivate researchers and hold profound implications for diverse areas of science and medicine.
