Option c is correct
Genomics
Explanation:
- Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with studying genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.
- Even though heredity had been observed for millennia, Gregor Mendel, a Moravian scientist and Augustinian priest working in Brno in the 19th century, was the first to examine genetics scientifically.
- Mendel studied "trait inheritance," or the transmission of traits from parents to children across time.
- He observed that organisms (pea plants) acquire traits in "inheritance units" that are distinct from one another.
- This term, which is still used today, is a nebulous description of what is recognised as a gene.
