Gensafræði
Gensafræði is the Icelandic word for genetics, the scientific study of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. It explores how traits are passed from parents to offspring through the transmission of genetic material, primarily DNA. This field investigates the structure of DNA, the organization of genes within chromosomes, and the mechanisms by which genetic information is encoded, replicated, and expressed.
Key areas within gensafræði include molecular genetics, which focuses on the molecular basis of genes and gene
The study of gensafræði has led to significant advancements, such as the sequencing of genomes, the development
