Human Genetics

Cell Biology in genetics explores how cellular processes and structures are linked to gene function. It examines gene expression, regulation, and inheritance within cells, revealing how genetic information is maintained, replicated, and passed on. Key areas include gene expression, focusing on how DNA is transcribed into RNA and proteins; DNA replication and repair, ensuring genetic integrity; chromosome structure and segregation during cell division; the regulation of the cell cycle to prevent diseases like cancer; and epigenetic modifications that influence gene activity without altering the DNA sequence. This integration of cell biology and genetics enhances our understanding of heredity, development, and disease.
