Introduction.
There are approximately 7.6 billion people in this world! We all have the
same body systems that work together to help our body to function on
daily basis. Surely there are many factors that make us different from
each other and in my opinion the biggest one is Genetics. But what is
genetics, Genetics is the study of how living things receive common
traits from previous generations. These traits are described by
the genetic information carried by a molecule called DNA. The
instructions for constructing and operating an organism are contained in
the organism's DNA. It is because of genetics that why children look
very similar to their parents or to their grandparents it is because of the
traits that gives them this characteristics. However genetics can be scary
because it is also one of the reasons that people might get inherited
disease that has no cure this happens when there is a Mutation!

Basics of Genetics.
Before you start studying genetics you should
understand some basic concept of genetics.
What is a Gene?
Ans) Gene is the basic physical and functional unit of
heredity that is transferred from parents to offspring and is
held to determine some characteristics of the offspring.
What is Heredity?
Ans) a heredity is the passing of characteristics
genetically from one generation to another.
What is genome?
Ans) Genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA
including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the
information needed to build and maintain an organisms.
What is DNA?
Ans) DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid it is the
chemical name for the molecule that carries genetic
instructions in all living things. The DNA molecule
consists of two strands that wind around one another to
