Genetics as a Career
Ms. Swati Salunkhe in this episode talks about the field Genetics. Genetics is a part of modern biology and biotechnology. It involves study of hereditary and factors governing it. The field involves research work, the way biological characteristics are transmitted from one generation to another. Genetic Engineering is a laboratory technique used by scientists to change laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. The work involves extracting the DNA out of one organism, changing it using chemicals or radiation and subsequently putting it back into the same or a different organism. They also study how traits and characteristics are transmitted through the generations, and how genetic disorders are caused. Their research involves researching the causes and discovering potential cures if any. To get in to the field one can start after class 12th with Science as background. Very few universities are giving genetics as specialization at undergraduate leve...
