about the truth of evolution, why animals behave the way they do, and how people found "genetic evidence for natural selection." This course
provides the basic biology you need to understand all of these issues better, tries to clarify some misconceptions, and tries to...

Genetics is the branch of science that deals with the study of genes, genetic variations and heredity in organisms. Genes are made up of DNA and are a type of genetic instruction. These instructions are used to make molecules and control the chemical reaction of life. These are passed from parent to offspring. It is the process of heritable changes in the population of organisms over several generations. The inherited traits are the expression of genes that are copied and passed on to the offspring during reproduction. The heritable traits that are helpful for survival and reproduction become more common, while the harmful traits become rare.
