Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including [[molecular genetics]], [[epigenetics]] and [[population genetics]]. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, [[bacteria]], and eukarya). ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > No results to show for list query. > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[Evolution]] > - [[Phenotype]]
