As a core biological discipline, genetics examines genes, heredity, and organismal variation. This field encompasses how traits pass from parents to offspring, including gene structure and function, cellular behavior, population distribution, and evolutionary changes. Since genes exist in all life forms, genetic principles apply universally across bacteria, plants, animals, and humans.
