Genetics
Genetics is the scientific study of heredity and the variation of traits within living organisms. At its core is the intricate world of DNA, the molecular blueprint that guides the development, functioning, and reproduction of all forms of life. Genes, segments of DNA, carry the instructions needed to create proteins, the building blocks of biological processes. From Gregor Mendel’s foundational work on inheritance patterns to the groundbreaking discovery of the DNA double helix by James Watson and Francis Crick, genetics has shaped our understanding of how traits are passed down from one generation to the next. With advancements like the Human Genome Project and CRISPR-Cas9 technology, genetics continues to revolutionize fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology, offering insights into our origins, health, and the limitless potential for scientific innovation.
