The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to genetics: Genetics – science of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. [1] [2] Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, and gene behavior in context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics ), patterns of inheritance ...
Human genetics. Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings. Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling .
Human germline engineering is the process by which the genome of an individual is edited in such a way that the change is heritable. This is achieved by altering the genes of the germ cells, which then mature into genetically modified eggs and sperm. For safety, ethical, and social reasons, there is broad agreement among the scientific ...
Horizontal gene transfer ( HGT) or lateral gene transfer ( LGT) [1] [2] [3] is the movement of genetic material between organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission of DNA from parent to offspring ( reproduction ). [4] HGT is an important factor in the evolution of many organisms. [5] [6] HGT is influencing scientific understanding of ...
Genetic determinism. It is a popular misconception that all patterns of an animal's behaviour, and more generally its phenotype, are rigidly determined by its genes. Although many examples of animals exist that display certain well-defined behaviour that is genetically programmed, [5] these examples cannot be extrapolated to all animal behaviour.
Behavioural genetics, also referred to as behaviour genetics, is a field of scientific research that uses genetic methods to investigate the nature and origins of individual differences in behaviour. While the name "behavioural genetics" connotes a focus on genetic influences, the field broadly investigates the extent to which genetic and ...
