GENETICS

=Genetics= [image:http://i.imgur.com/6rh0ade.png] Genetics is the study of '''genes''', '''heredity''' and '''variation''' Genes are the instructions found within each of our cells that code for our traits (characteristics). These instructions and their corresponding traits can be passed from one generation to the next -a concept referred to as heredity. The variation in traits seen within a population is largely due to differences in our genes and their pattern of inheritance.
