Genetics is the field of science that examines how traits are passed from one
generation to the next. Simply put, genetics affects everything about every
living thing on earth. An organism’s genes, snippets of DNA that are the fundamental
units of heredity, control how it looks, behaves, and reproduces.
Because all biology depends on genes, it’s critical to understand genetics as
a foundation for all the other sciences, including agriculture and medicine.
