Genetics is the branch of biology that studies genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms, including how traits are passed from parents to offspring through DNA. Geneticists, medical researchers, and clinicians use genetics to understand inherited diseases, develop diagnostic tests, guide plant and animal breeding, and advance fields like genetic counseling and personalized medicine. It encompasses subfields such as molecular genetics, population genetics, and genomics.
