Genetics, a discipline of biology, is the science of heredity and variation in living
organisms.
The fact that living things inherit traits from their parents has been
used since prehistoric times to improve crop plants and animals through selective
breeding.
However, the modern science of genetics, which seeks to understand
the process of inheritance, only began with the work of Gregor Mendel in the
mid-nineteenth century.
Genetic testing is one of the important techniques of medical science for
detecting alterations in the genes and chromosomes of an individual.
It helps in
diagnosing genetic disorders, predicting the risks of disease occurrence and also
in identifying carriers of genetic disorders.
Genetic testing or screening is a procedure for determining any changes in the
genes, proteins and chromosomes.
There are about 20,000 - 25,000 genes in a

Genetic tests are conducted to diagnose any abnormalities in
