Genetics Definition

Imagine trying to bake a cake using a recipe passed down through generations in your family. Just as you rely on this recipe to recreate the same delicious cake your grandmother used to make, genetics is the process by which organisms pass down traits, like eye color or height, from parents to offspring using a biological "recipe." In this analogy, the recipe represents genetic information, the ingredients are the genetic material inherited from each parent, and the cake is the resulting traits expressed in the offspring.
