Frequently asked questions

What is genetics?

Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and how traits are passed from parents to offspring.

Why is DNA important in genetics?

DNA contains the instructions that control how living organisms grow, develop, and function.

What is a gene?

A gene is a segment of DNA that carries the code for a specific trait or function in the body.

Can genetics explain why we look like our parents?

Yes, inherited genes from both parents influence traits like eye color, height, and hair type.
