*Introduction*
All living organisms reproduce. Reproduction results in the formation of offsprings of the *same kind*. A dog reproduces only dogs and humans reproduce only humans. However, the resulting offspring most often do not totally resemble the parent.

Several characteristic differences may occur between individuals belonging to the same species. The similarities and differences among the members of a species are not coincidental. Both the similarities and differences have been received from their parents.

Heredity refers to the passing of traits or characteristics through genes from one generation (parent) to another (offspring). This heredity is evidently seen in s*xual reproduction as the variation of characteristics that are inherited is high.

Genetics is a branch of biology that studies heredity and variation. In other words, genetics is the study of how genes bring about characteristics or traits in living things, and how those characteristics are inherited. Scientists who study heredity and variation are called geneticists. The term genetics was coined by William Bateson in 1905. Genes are portions of DNA molecules that determine the characteristics of living things. Through the processes of meiosis and reproduction, genes are transmitted from one generation to the next.

*Definition of Terms I*
- Hereditary/Inheritance: This is the transmission and expression of characters or traits from parents to offspring. It accounts for the usual resemblance between a parent and its offspring.

- Allelomorphs (alleles): These are pairs of genes on a particular position of chromosomes. They control contrasting characters.

- Characters: These are inheritable features possessed by an organism. E.g height, complexion, colour, etc.

- Gamete: This is a mature s*x cell that takes part in s*xual reproduction. It is of two types; male and female gamete. Examples are pollen grains and ovules in plants, and sperms and ova in humans. A gamete is usually haploid.
