Genetics: From DNA to Intelligence - Cogn-IQ
Genetics is the branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. The field was founded in the mid-19th century by Gregor Mendel, whose experiments with pea plants established the fundamental laws of inheritance. Modern genetics has expanded dramatically since the discovery of DNA's structure by Watson and Crick in 1953, leading to revolutionary ...
