The Geneticist

A geneticist is a scientist who studies genes—the units of heredity that carry instructions for how living organisms develop and function. They examine how genes are inherited, how they influence traits, and how genetic variations can lead to health conditions or differences among individuals. Geneticists work in research, medicine, and agriculture, using techniques like DNA analysis to understand genetic makeup, diagnose genetic disorders, and develop treatments or improved crops. Their work helps us understand the biological foundation of life, health, and evolution.
