What is Genetics? 🤔
**Genetics** is the science of how living things inherit traits from their parents. Think about it: you have your mother's eyes or your father's hair color. This is all thanks to genetics!
The information that tells your body what to look like and how to work is stored in tiny instructions called **genes**. Genes are found inside a special molecule called **DNA**. DNA is like a long, twisted ladder, and it's located in the nucleus of every cell in your body. It's the master blueprint for all living things!
