  2. Human genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetics

    Medical genetics is the application of genetics to medical care. It overlaps human genetics, for example, research on the causes and inheritance of genetic disorders would be considered within both human genetics and medical genetics, while the diagnosis, management, and counseling of individuals with genetic disorders would be considered part ...

    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 from parent to offspring, and gene distribution ...

  6. Mendelian traits in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_traits_in_humans

    An example of the codominant inheritance of some of the four blood groups. Mendelian traits in humans are human traits that are substantially influenced by Mendelian inheritance. Most – if not all – Mendelian traits are also influenced by other genes, the environment, immune responses, and chance.

  7. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

    The study of human genetic variation has evolutionary significance and medical applications. It can help scientists reconstruct and understand patterns of past human migration. In medicine, study of human genetic variation may be important because some disease-causing alleles occur more often in certain population groups.

  9. Common misunderstandings of genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_misunderstandings...

    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. There is good evidence that some basic aspects of human behaviour, such as circadian rhythms [6] are genetically based, but it is clear that many other aspects are ...
