2. Human genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

3. Introduction to genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_genetics

   Genetics is the study of genes and tries to explain what they are and how they work. Genes are how living organisms inherit features or traits from their ancestors; for example, children usually look like their parents because they have inherited their parents' genes. Genetics tries to identify which traits are inherited and to explain how ...

4. Race and genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_genetics

   Genetic studies of traits and populations have been used to justify social inequalities associated with race, [7] despite the fact that patterns of human variation have been shown to be mostly clinal, [8] with human genetic code being approximately 99.6%-99.9% identical between individuals and without clear boundaries between groups. [9] [10]

5. Genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics

   Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. [1][2][3] It is an important branch in biology because heredity is vital to organisms' evolution. Gregor Mendel, a Moravian Augustinian friar working in the 19th century in Brno, was the first to study genetics scientifically.

6. Heredity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heredity

   Genetics. Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

7. Genetic linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_linkage

   Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction.Two genetic markers that are physically near to each other are unlikely to be separated onto different chromatids during chromosomal crossover, and are therefore said to be more linked than markers that are far apart.

8. Non-Mendelian inheritance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Mendelian_inheritance

   Non-Mendelian inheritance is any pattern in which traits do not segregate in accordance with Mendel's laws. These laws describe the inheritance of traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus. In Mendelian inheritance, each parent contributes one of two possible alleles for a trait.

9. Genealogical DNA test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test

   e. A genealogical DNA test is a DNA -based genetic test used in genetic genealogy that looks at specific locations of a person's genome in order to find or verify ancestral genealogical relationships, or (with lower reliability) to estimate the ethnic mixture of an individual. Since different testing companies use different ethnic reference ...
