Genetics is the study of the function and behavior of genes. Genes, the basic units of heredity, are biochemical instructions composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and are found inside the cells of every organism, from bacteria to humans. An organism’s genes, which reside in one or more chromosomes, determine its characteristics, or traits. The sum of all an organism’s genes is called its genome. In other words, the genome is divided into chromosomes, chromosomes contain genes, and genes are made of DNA.

Geneticists seek to understand how the information encoded in genes is used and controlled by cells and how it is transmitted from one generation to the next. They also study how tiny variations in genes can disrupt an organism’s development or cause disease.

To analyze the pattern of inheritance followed by a particular trait, you can use a pedigree chart that shows the presence or absence of a trait according to the relationships among parents, siblings and offspring.
