Genetics (from Ancient Greek γενεÏ"ικός genetikos, 'genitive' and that from γÎνεσις genesis, 'origin'[1][2][3]), a discipline of biology, is the science of heredity and variation in living organisms.

During the early 1900s, the study of genetics began in earnest: the link between Mendel's work and that of cell biologists resulted in the chromosomal theory of inheritance; Garrod proposed the link between genes and "inborn errors of metabolism"; ...
During the first part of this century the incorporation of genetics and population biology into studies of evolution led to a Neo-Darwinian theory of evolution that recognized the importance of mutation and variation within a population.
Genetics
Genetics is the study of heredity or inheritance. Genetics helps to explain how traits are passed from parents to their young. Understanding certain genetic concepts can be difficult for beginners.
