Geneticist

A geneticist is a scientist who studies genes, which are the instructions that determine how living things develop and function. They investigate how traits are inherited, how genetic variations occur, and how genetics affect health and disease. By examining DNA, the material that carries genetic information, geneticists can work on various projects, such as improving crops, understanding inherited diseases, and developing targeted medical therapies. Their work combines biology, medicine, and technology to enhance our understanding of life and improve treatments for genetic disorders.
