why do we need to study genetics?

The study of genetics allows us to predict the traits that our offspring will inherit from their parents.  This allows parents to make plans for future complcations.  It also allows us to control food crops, animals breeds, and various other commerical uses.  I may also lead to the development of medications or preventitve means of treating many human diseases that are caused by genetic mutations.

it is very vital because if you need to look at a organism specially in biology you would be able to see it and study it

Genes are the important functional units of our genome. There are somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 genes in our genome, the actual number is not yet known (one benefit to be gained from the sequence of the entire genome). While the sequence of the genome will allow biologists to identify most of the genes, many people have been unwilling to wait the 5-7 years that it will take to sequence all our DNA. They have taken a shortcut.

If you have offspring from a first cousin, chances are good they will be a burden to society due to their mental and/or physical limitations.  Inbreeding breeds mutants...

I think both are important genetics and environment.  However a person born smart (like you put it) but not exposed to knowledge will not excell to their full potential. And in the same regard a person born handicapted (*even slightly) cannot be made much smarter even with a great learning environment, this is a definite opion type question.

its important 2 hav an ambition coz u will pass yuor life in terms of that ambition and acheiving it 4 example if u wanna b a doctor u will organise ur life on that aim u will choose the suitible study 4 u .you will read more in medicalfeilds . u will study the scientific subjects more n more

The same importance as studying any history.  You study history to try and predict the future.

Depends which area of science you're interested in, at school I thought genetics would be interesting (with all the stuff in the news) so I did a genetics degree and am now working as a research scientist and have been working on the genetics of various diseases. \n\nEven within molecular biology there's lots of things you can go into, I'd say see what you like and take it from there...

It's called genotype by environment interaction and it's one of the most important principles of genetics.  You really can't say what genetics are "best" without considering the environment and vice versa.  So in short, neither is better, they work together.

Your genetics..dna..you know..the whole human biology thing..

PCR study and Genetic Genome Study.\n\nBoth of these studies have to deal with the full mapping of the human genetic system.  Thus, enabling us to control diseases at the genetic level, and thus making it easier on the lympathic system.  (By means of limiting irriation due to medications, ect).\n\nThat's perhaps the most important premise.

Because it helped us to understand the mechanism by which cells and organisms pass information from parent to offspring.  It also opened the door for research that can help prevent and cure genetic diseases caused by mistakes made during DNA replication, etc.

Genetics definitely plays a role, but so does one's environment. I trust you've heard about the "nature vs. nurture" debate? Well, here are two quotes I pulled from two scientific papers:\n\n<< It is no longer nature versus nurture, but nature via nurture, and in the process it may grant training a new lease on life and perhaps a new future.>>\nhttp://www.clomedia.com/content/templates/clo_webonly.asp?articleid=332&zoneid=78\n\n<<The resulting concept of cognitive development has therefore changed, and the traditional nature versus nurture debate has given way to the idea that genetics and the environment influence each other and work together. Remarks one researcher, “The more we understand about development and behavior, the more obvious it becomes that nature and nurture are similarly influences rather than determinants, not only singly but also in combination.”>>\nhttp://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro99/web3/Tucker.html\n\nBoth papers discuss Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences, in which Musical Intelligence is one of the eight. You can do a search on "Multiple Intelligences" if those papers are too difficult for you.

First, what does this have to do with your genetic heritage?\n\nSecond, just do your job above and beyond what is required and you will become indispensible.

Mendelian inheritance (or Mendelian genetics or Mendelism) is a set of primary tenets relating to the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent organisms to their children; it underlies much of genetics. They were initially derived from the work of Gregor Mendel published in 1865 and 1866 which was "re-discovered" in 1900, and were initially very controversial. When they were integrated with the chromosome theory of inheritance by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1915, they became the core of classical genetics.\nContents

Technology is used in the field of genetics in that it is used to determine the DNA of someone and it is used to retrive the data on the databank of DNA.\n\nIt is always appropirate to conduct genetic testing to solve a crime.  Using any available resources to end crime has no downfalls.  A situation where it would be appropriate would be a rape case where there was DNA retreived from teh victim and matched the the perp\n\nDNA evidence is enough evidence to convict a person of a crime.  One reason is that DNA does not lie.  ANother reason is that everything else, including eye witness testimony, is influenced by outside factors.
