Genetics | History, Biology, Timeline, & Facts | Britannica
Genetics, study of heredity in general and of genes in particular. Genetics forms one of the central pillars of biology and overlaps with many other areas, such as agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology. Learn more about the history, biology, areas of study, and methods of genetics.

Genetics - Wikipedia
Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a living cell or organism may increase or decrease gene transcription.

GENETICS 101 - Understanding Genetics - NCBI Bookshelf
This chapter provides fundamental information about basic genetics concepts, including cell structure, the molecular and biochemical basis of disease, major types of genetic disease, laws of inheritance, and the impact of genetic variation.

Genetics - Definition, History and Impact - Biology Dictionary
Genetics is the study of genes and inheritance in living organisms. This branch of science has a fascinating history, stretching from the 19th century when scientists began to study how organisms inherited traits from their parents, to the present day when we can read the “source code” of living things letter-by-letter.

Genetics - Oxford Academic
Genetic and molecular studies on DNA replication, transcription, genome stability, and mutagenesis have provided insights into essential cellular and evolutionary processes. This series will highlight recent genetic and genomic work that leverages both classical and innovative genetic approaches in the study of bacterial genetics. Read now.

Introduction to genetics - Wikipedia
Genetics is the study of genes and tries to explain what they are and how they work. Genes are how living organisms inherit features or traits from their ancestors; for example, children usually look like their parents because they have inherited their parents' genes.

Genetics - National Geographic Society
Genetics is the study of genes —the units of heredity —and how the traits for which they carry coded information are transmitted from one generation to the next. Genes are found inside the cells of all living things. They get passed on from parents to offspring.

Genetics Basics | Genomics and Your Health | CDC
Genes are specific sections of DNA that have instructions for making proteins. Proteins make up most of the parts of your body and make your body work the right way. You have two copies of every gene. You inherit one copy from your father and one copy from your mother.

BASIC GENETICS INFORMATION - Understanding Genetics - NCBI Bookshelf
Genes are small sections of the long chain of DNA. They are the basic physical and functional units of heredity. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than two million bases. The Human Genome Project has estimated that humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes.

Genetics - National Human Genome Research Institute
Genetics is the branch of biology concerned with the study of inheritance, including the interplay of genes, DNA variation and their interactions with environmental factors.
