Genetics is a subfield of biology concerned with the diversity, replication, mutation, and translation of genes.

DNA - Double stranded helical organic molecule composed of nucleic acids, sugars, and phosphate groups.
RNA - Single stranded organic molecule composed of nucleic acids, sugars, and phosphate groups.
chromosome- Condensed DNA and proteins.
allele- Differences in genotype among individuals for a single gene.
gene- Regions of DNA that are transcribed to RNA.

-The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Biology''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1998</ref>.  Many godless individuals believe that we evolved our genetic structure in a system named [[evolution]].  However, it has been proven conclusively that God himself coordinates our genetic makeup by choosing which features from each parent we will be born with.  This implies that babies with genetic birth defects are punishments from God for transgressions of the parents.
