Genetics Overview
Genetics, the study of genes and heredity, holds a pivotal role in understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing life. It delves into the intricate patterns of inheritance, exploring how traits are passed down from one generation to the next. Through the lens of genetics, scientists decipher the molecular blueprints that shape organisms, unraveling the mysteries of evolution, health, and diversity. By unraveling the complexities of DNA, genetics illuminates the underlying principles that dictate the essence of living beings, paving the way for breakthroughs in medicine, agriculture, and beyond.
