GENETICS

If you are interested to survey and know more about heredity, the variation of traits in living organisms and of course genes, pursuing a course in Genetics could work wonders. Did you know that the appearance and structure of an organism directly depends on heredity? Now the question that pops up here is what is heredity? We are pretty much versed about the fact that reproduction is a biological process.

During this process, there occurs a transmission of genes, particularly from a parent cell to a developing embryo. As a result, offspring are expected to inherit genes, similar to that of their biological parents.

Think about it – When cuddling an adorable infant, do you often go wow about the baby’s appearance and make statements like his hair is just as good as his mother or her eyes are identical to her father? Well, these statements are absolutely true. Due to the transmission of genes, offspring develops a few traits similar to their parents.

Genetics is a branch of science that deals with the study of information on heredity, DNA control functions, genes, biological functions of cell, expression patterns of genes, also known as ‘Microarray Technology’ and molecular biology. Geneticists focus on areas like evolution, population and bioinformatics.
