genetii

Genetii is a term that has appeared in speculative biology and science fiction as a proposed unit of heredity or as a name for a taxonomic entity in fictional worlds. It is not a standard term in modern genetics, and it has no formal definition in widely recognized scientific literature. In general usage, genetii may be described as discrete packets of hereditary information or as a conceptual analogue to a gene, sometimes envisaged as more complex or modular than conventional genes.

In theoretical discussions, the word is used to explore ideas about information content, inheritance, and evolution
