What is genetics?
All living organisms containing molecules (genetic material) that encodes instructions on how to build parts of itself. This genetic material is usually very stable, but can change slightly over time and be passed on to copies of individual cells or be combined to form new organisms. Genetics is the study of genes or portions of DNA that can be linked to a specific protein and/or RNA and how they vary and are inherited.
