The word genetics, coined by William Bateson, is derived
from the Latin word genesis, which means birth. Genetics is the study of
heredity and variation. Heredity refers to the transmission of genetic
information, more precisely genes, from parents to offspring. This PDF

of Dominance, Lethal Genes, Epistasis / Gene Interaction, Multiple Alleles,
Qualitative and Quantitative Characters, Polygenic Inheritance, Linkage,

This lecture note discusses the principles
of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of
molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans. Topics covered
includes: structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes, biological
variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and selection, population
genetics, use of genetic methods to analyze protein function, gene regulation
and inherited disease.
