genetics education

Genetics education involves understanding how traits are inherited through genes—units of DNA passed from parents to offspring. It explains how genetic variations influence characteristics like eye color or disease risk, and how changes, or mutations, can affect health. The field also explores how genes interact with the environment to shape individuals. By learning genetics, one gains insight into biological diversity, heredity, and modern advances like genetic testing and gene therapy, enabling informed decisions about health, reproduction, and personalized medicine.
