Genetics encompasses the study of chromosomes, genes, and inheritance patterns. Chromosomes are bar-like structures carrying DNA, with homologous pairs determining traits. Autosomes and sex chromosomes play roles in genetic makeup. Genes are hereditary units determining individual traits, with allel
