MS Molecular Genetics

Molecular genetics studies deoxyribonucleic acid, which is more commonly known as DNA. As a genetics biology definition, DNA encodes the information that determines an organism's growth, development, and functioning. molecular genetics definition is that this field examines the distinctions between molecules of DNA and their expressions as seen among various organisms. Molecular genetics is a sub-field of biology that integrates the studies of classical inheritance, cellular biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology. Molecular genetics are used to find and study gene mutations, expanding the scientific understanding of inheritance, genetic expression, biological mechanisms, and genetic diseases. Molecular genetics studies DNA and its effects on individuals and populations. The field examines the structure of DNA molecules, how genetic information spreads from parent to offspring, how DNA is converted to RNA and then to proteins, and more.
