Question

Genetics is the study of_______ .
A)replication and recombination
B)transcription and translation
C)mutation and recession
D)diploid and haploid
E)inheritance and variation

Accepted Answer

Genetics involves studying the way that traits are inherited from one generation to the next and the variations that can occur between individuals within a population. This includes exploring the underlying mechanisms of inheritance, such as Mendelian genetics, as well as more complex phenomena such as gene expression, epigenetics, and genome evolution. Replication, recombination, transcription, translation, and diploid/haploid state are important concepts within genetics, but they are not comprehensive enough to fully capture the scope of the field. Mutation and recession are not commonly used terms in genetics.
