Theoretical Genetics

Theoretical genetics is a branch of biology that uses mathematical models and theories to understand how genes are inherited and expressed in populations over time. It helps explain concepts like evolution, genetic variation, and how traits are passed from parents to offspring. By analyzing patterns in genetic data, researchers can predict how traits may change, how diseases are inherited, and the genetic basis of specific characteristics. This field is essential for advancements in agriculture, medicine, and conservation, as it provides insights into the complexities of heredity and the biological mechanisms driving genetic diversity.
