About Genetics

Genetics is a discipline of the Biological sciences that studies personal traits the human or living organism inherit from its ancestors through genes and Embryology studies the development of the fertilized embryo from the ovum to the fetus stage. It deals with study of various aspects related to genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. It deals with the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, molecular structure and function of genes, gene behavior with respect to a cell or organism, gene distribution and variation and change in populations. Human genetics is the study of inheritance in human beings. Human characteristics are inherited from parents to offspring in discrete unites called genes. Genes consist of specific information coded in the chromosome that consists of segments of chromosomes. Human genetics includes a variety of overlapping fields like classical, molecular, biochemical, population, developmental, clinical and cytogenetics. Genome biology deals with genomes. Genomes are the genetic material of an organism. They consist of DNA or RNA. Genome includes both the genes and as well as non-coding sequences of DNA or RNA.
