Genetics is concerned with how traits such as hair color, eye color, and risk for disease are passed or inherited from parents to their children, and how these inherited traits differ from person to person.

\n

At the center of the study of genetics is the genetic code or \u2018genome.\u2019 This genetic information is made up of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and is stored in almost every cell in the body. Every human genome contains 20,000 genes. The human body contains between 75 and 100 trillion cells. And every human cell contains 46 chromosomes that provide the genetic instructions for a body to live, grow, and develop.

These numbers alone speak to the complex work of geneticists and to the fascinating subject matter tackled by students of genetics.

    遗传学

    遗传学关注的是,诸如头发颜色,眼睛颜色和疾病风险之类的特征如何从父母传递给子女,以及这些遗传性特征的因素与人之间如何不同。

    遗传学研究的核心是遗传密码或“基因组”。该遗传信息由一种称为脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)的化学物质组成,并存储在体内的几乎每个细胞中。每个人类基因组都有20,000个基因。人体含有75至100万亿个细胞。每个人类细胞都包含46种染色体,可为人体生存,成长和发展的遗传学指导提供。

    仅这些数字就会说明复杂的工作遗传学家以及由遗传学学生解决的令人着迷的主题。
