2. Heredity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heredity

   In humans, eye color is an example of an inherited characteristic: an individual might inherit the "brown-eye trait" from one of the parents. [1] Inherited traits are controlled by genes and the complete set of genes within an organism's genome is called its genotype. [2]

3. Outline of genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_genetics

   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 ...

4. Introduction to genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_genetics

   Genetics tries to identify which traits are inherited and to explain how these traits are passed from generation to generation. Some traits are part of an organism's physical appearance, such as eye color or height. Other sorts of traits are not easily seen and include blood types or resistance to diseases. Some traits are inherited through ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_genetics_and...

   Offspring cells or organisms are said to inherit the genetic information of their parents. heritability 1. The ability to be inherited. 2. A statistic used in quantitative genetics that estimates the proportion of variation within a given phenotypic trait that is due to genetic variation between individuals in a particular population.

6. Human genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetics

   Genomics is the field of genetics concerned with structural and functional studies of the genome. [1] A genome is all the DNA contained within an organism or a cell including nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. The human genome is the total collection of genes in a human being contained in the human chromosome, composed of over three billion ...

7. Classical genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_genetics

   Classical genetics is the aspect of genetics concerned solely with the transmission of genetic traits via reproductive acts. Genetics is, generally, the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity. The process by which characteristics are passed down from parents to their offspring is called heredity.

8. List of genetic codes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_codes

   The translation table list below follows the numbering and designation by NCBI. [2] Four novel alternative genetic codes were discovered in bacterial genomes by Shulgina and Eddy using their codon assignment software Codetta, and validated by analysis of tRNA anticodons and identity elements; [3] these codes are not currently adopted at NCBI ...

9. Simple Mendelian genetics in humans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mendelian_genetics...

   Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.
