GENETICS
is the study of traits that are passed on from parent to child.
Genetics also studies the variation of those traits within
and between individuals. Traits can include characteristics
like hair and eye color. They can also include hereditary
family tendencies toward diseases like breast cancer and cycle
cell anemia.
The study of traits in humans is called
HUMAN GENETICS.
All the genetics necessary to build
a human being is contained in the HUMAN
GENOME.
The genome contains all of an organism’s
DNA.
GENOMICS
is the study of all the genes in an organism – their
sequence, structure, regulation, interaction, and function.
