Genetics can be used to study human inheritance by examining the molecular structure and function of genes, patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and variation in gene distribution within populations. As genes are found in all living things, genetics applies to the study of viruses, bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. Studying inheritance of traits has allowed farmers to improve crops and livestock through selective breeding over prehistoric times. Genetics reveals what makes each organism unique.

- 1. Week 5 Warm Ups Day 1 Write a paragraph explaining what is meant by genetics in biology. How can we use genetics to study human inheritance? Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behavior in context of a cell or organism, patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution, variation and change in populations. Given that genes are universal to living organisms, genetics can be applied to the study of all living systems, from viruses and bacteria, through plants and domestic animals, to humans. The fact that living things inherit traits from their parents has been used since prehistoric times to improve crop plants and animals through breeding. Genetics is the key to finding out what makes organisms unique. Day 2 Write 5 observations or inferences about the following image . 1. there are different sizes
