Detailed explanation-1: -Genetics is the scientific study of genes and heredity-of how certain qualities or traits are passed from parents to offspring as a result of changes in DNA sequence. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for building one or more molecules that help the body work.

Detailed explanation-2: -To answer these questions, they study a type of biology called GENetics (juh-net-icks). “Gen” means beginning. Parents pass traits on to their children. Genetics is the science of genes and how traits are passed on from one generation to the next.

Detailed explanation-3: -Human gene transfer (therapy) is the process of transferring genetic material (DNA or RNA) into a person. Gene therapy is a medical intervention based on modification of the genetic material of living cells which is then given to humans.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetics – the science that deals with heredity, especially the mechanisms of hereditary transmission and the variation of inherited characteristics among similar or related organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Genetics may be conveniently divided into 3 areas of study: transmission genetics, molecular genetics and population genetics.
