  11. Introduction to genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_genetics

    Genes are how living organisms inherit features or traits from their ancestors; for example, children usually look like their parents because they have inherited their parents' genes. Genetics tries to identify which traits are inherited and to explain how these traits are passed from generation to generation.
