M.phil Genetics

Genetics” is the study of how traits are inherited. A trait is defined as a variation in the physical appearance of a heritable characteristic. It seeks to understand how traits are passed from generation to generation. Recall that genes are segments of DNA that are typically several hundred or thousand bases long. Each gene directs the production of a protein through the process of protein synthesis: DNA gets transcribed to produce an mRNA; mRNA provides to code for a ribosome to produce a chain of amino acids. Genetics is termed as the study to understand the functioning of inheritance of traits from parents to offspring. The groundwork on which heredity stands is known as inheritance. It is defined as the procedure by which characteristics are handed down from one generation to the other. Variation, as the name suggests is the amount of dissimilarity that exists between children and their parentages. It can be determined to keep in view the behaviouristic, cytological, physiological, and morphological characters of individuals fitting into similar species.

Scope

The scope of genetics reaches to the problems of growth, form, and their origin of these varieties within the members of populations, and on the effects which these diverse genotypes have on the fitness of individuals and of populations as whole entities.
