Document Summary
Genetics is the study of the structure and function of genes. Early genetics focused on the passage of traits from parent to offspring. Advance in dna technology and biochemistry allow the study of the structure and function of genes at the molecular level (molecular genetics) In 1843 admitted to the augustinian monastery in brno. Genotype and phenotype hereditary traits are characteristics that are passed down from on generation to the next these traits are under the control of genes. The genetic make-up of an organism is its genotype.
