introduction. DNA and genealogy may seem unrelated, but in reality are interdependent. DNA is the bio molecule that stores all the information of an organism, which is vital for its function. The DNA not only stores information, but it is the hereditary material in almost all living beings. On the other hand, genealogy is the science and study of family history. This study of family history can be coupled with certain concepts of D. N A. To help understand how certain traits are expressed in an individual or how they were inherited. This book is divided into six chapters. Chapter one will give basic knowledge about the structure and function of a DNA molecule. The second chapter deals with genes and genetic information. The third chapter deals with the basics of inheritance and the concepts upon which inheritance may have been formed. The fourth chapter talks about how DNA is inherited by offspring from parents and about the laws of inheritance, giving examples in the form of some interesting experiments. This chapter also talks about certain traits and quirks that can be explained by that inheritance. The fifth chapter concentrates completely on the basics of genealogy, which include its definition the history of genealogy and modern genealogy. The final chapter deals with the application of genealogy in human health and research in the area of genealogy. This chapter showcases a few diseases that have been passed down through generations as examples of the link mentioned between DNA and genealogy. All the chapters of this book are carefully designed to give readers knowledge of DNA and genealogy and their relationship to each other. I hope you find this book informative and enlightening. I want to thank you for buying this book, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it. So, without much ado, let us take a deep dive in the study of genes and DNA.
