Study Notes
Human Genetics
- Epigenetics, genomics, and proteomics are all fields encompassed by human genetics.
Inheritance
- Most human-inherited traits have a multifactorial inheritance pattern, meaning they are influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors.
History of Genetics
- Gregor Mendel is known as the father of modern genetics.
Mendel's Discoveries

Population Genetics
- Population genetics focuses on studying the genetics of populations, including the frequencies of different genes and genotypes.
