Genetics is the study of genes and tries to explain what they are and how they work. 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.

What are the 4 types of genes?
The chemicals come in four types A, C, T and G. A gene is a section of DNA made up of a sequence of As, Cs, Ts and Gs. Your genes are so tiny you have around 20,000 of them inside every cell in your body.
What are basic genetics?
They are the basic physical and functional units of heredity.
In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than two million bases.
How many types of genetics are there?
The molecular basis for genes is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
DNA is composed of a chain of nucleotides, of which there are four types: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
Genetic information exists in the sequence of these nucleotides, and genes exist as stretches of sequence along the DNA chain.
What genes are inherited from mother only?
And, mitochondrial DNA (or mDNA) is inherited strictly from the mom.
Because mDNA can only be inherited from the mother, meaning any traits contained within this DNA come exclusively from mom in fact, the father’s mDNA essentially self-destructs when it meets and fuses with the mother’s cells.
