The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to genetics:

Genetics – science of genes , heredity , and variation in living organisms . ^{[1] [2]} Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, and gene behavior in context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics ), patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution, variation and change in populations .
