Genetics is a magnificent branch of biology in which we study genes, variations that occur within those genes and heredity i.e how the offsprings inherit genes from both of their biological parents.

Explanation:

You may be thinking:

What are genes?
Genes are small parts of #DNA# that carry specific base sequence which control specific character or trait. Genes are termed as basic units of biological information.

Hereditary characters pass from the parents to the offsprings through genes. These genes are expressed as traits i.e eye colour height, intelligence etc in the offsprings.

Genes produce inherited resemblance in new generation. They also produce distinctive variations among different organisms. Genes are passed to the next generation as intact parental combination.
This, inherited similarities are conserved in a race. Sometimes, variations are produced due to shuffling, mutation or juggling in genes.
