C ytogenetics: the branch of genetics that studies the organization and arrangement of genes and chromosomes using the techniques of microscopy. Locate genes on specific chromosomes within specific regions: molecular g enetics: study of events at the biochemical level; uses recombinant dna technology to identify, isolate, clone and analyze genes. P renatal diagnostics: dna fingerprinting, g ene therapy. P opulation g enetics: study of whole populations; study of the forces that change gene frequencies and drive micro-evolutionary process: q uantitative g enetics: study of the contribution individual genes. P opulation: group of interbreeding individuals make to various traits: r ange of phenotypes, hair color, eye color and skin color. More definitions: g enomics: the study of the functions and interactions of many genes or gene sequences.
