Genetic Lineage

Genetic lineage refers to the biological ancestry and hereditary connections within a group of organisms, tracing the transmission of genes from one generation to the next. It reveals how traits, characteristics, and even diseases can be passed down through family lines. By studying genetic lineage, scientists can understand evolutionary relationships, identify inherited conditions, and track the genetic diversity within populations. Essentially, it’s a way to map out how genes and characteristics are inherited over time, connecting individuals to their ancestors and showing the shared genetic heritage among relatives.
