Genetics: The study of transfer of hereditary characters (genes) from parent to offspring is called genetics.
It is the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. William Bateson in 1905 suggested word genetics to describe the study of inheritance and the science of variation. Bateson first used the term genetics publicly at the Third International Conference on Genetics in 1906.
Heredity and variations form the basis of genetics. Heredity is the process of passing the characters of parents to offspring. The degree of difference between parents and offspring is called variation. Variations form the basis of species diversity.
