Study Notes
Genetics is a field of biology that studies the genetic composition of biological populations and the changes in genetic composition over time. The study of genetics can be subdivided in Mendelian genetics, genetic disorders, and population genetics.
- Mendelian genetics:
- Mendelian genetics is based on the work of the 19th-centa
y genetic, Mendel, and is concerned with the study of inheritance in families and populations
- Mendel proposed that heredity is based on the transmission of "factors" (l
