which of the following terms describes the study of inheritance (heredity)? genetics gene meiosis traits
Genetics is the scientific study of genes and heredity—how certain qualities or traits are passed from parents to offspring as a result of changes in DNA sequence. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for building one or more molecules that help the body work. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. Traits are characteristics or attributes of an organism that are expressed by genes and/or influenced by the environment.
