Study Notes

Genetics - 1- Introduction

Genetics is the study of inheritance
It's a broad science examining the molecular basis of inheritance, transmission of traits, and gene movement within and between populations.

Divisions of Genetics

Transmission genetics: Examines basic genetic principles, trait transmission across generations, chromosome-heredity relations, gene mapping and focuses on the individual organism.
Molecular genetics: Examines the chemical nature of genes, including encoding, replication, and expression processes. Focuses on gene structure, organization, and function.
Population genetics: Explores the genetic makeup of populations and how it changes over time and space, fundamentally studying evolution and genetic change. Focuses on the group of genes in a population.
