Outline of genetics 
Summary
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to genetics:
Genetics – science of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms.[1][2] Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, and gene behavior in context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics), patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution, variation and change in populations.
