Genetics

Genetics is the branch of biology that explores how traits are passed from parents to offspring through genes. It explains the mechanisms behind inheritance, variation, and the molecular basis of life. By studying genetics, we understand how traits develop, how disorders arise, and how life evolves over generations.
