Introduction to Genetics
Genetics is the fascinating science that explores the blueprint of life encoded within our cells - DNA. It guides our development, behavior, and traits passed on from generation to generation. Whether it's eye color, height, or even predispositions to certain diseases, our genes play a crucial role.
Dive deeper into the mysteries of genetics and discover how this field shapes the living world around us. Let's understand some basic concepts:
- DNA 📈: The carrier of our genetic information, structured in a double helix.
- Genes 🔘: Segments of DNA that code for proteins, the building blocks of life.
- Chromosomes 📒: Packed bundles of DNA, humans have 23 pairs.
