Genetics (ISBN - 0470551747)

First and foremost, genetics is concerned with how
traits are inherited. The process of cell division is
central to how chromosomes are divvyed up among off-
spring. When genes are passed on, some are assertive and
dominant while others are shy and recessive. The study of
how different traits are inherited and expressed is called
Mendelian genetics.
Genetics also determines your sex (as in maleness or
femaleness), and your sex influences how certain traits
are expressed. In this part, I explain what genetics is and
what it’s used for, how cells divide, and how traits are
passed from parents to offspring.
