distinguish between genetics and eugenics
Answers
Answer:
Both refer to genes, but in very different ways.
"Genetic" is an adjective that simply refers to genes or heredity. "Genetic research", then, would be the study of genes.
"Eugenic" uses the prefix eu-, which means "good", so breaking down the word "eugenic" give us "good genes". Eugenics refers to ways to improve human genes, sometimes only for children, or sometimes for the human race as a whole. It's a controversial subject, because improving the genome could be a very good thing if done ethically and correctly, but can be horrible if done unethically or incorrectly.
