Genetics – the study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
... Mendel hypothesized that each trait is controlled by a distinct “factor.” These factors are now known as genes, or segments of DNA that carry the code for a specific trait; genes are dark bands found on the chromosome, or rod-shaped structures found inside the nucleus of a cell. ...
