Answer 1

The correct option is C branch of science that deals with the study of patterns of inheritance and variation of traits

Genetics is a branch of biology which deals with the study passing of characters from parent to offspring which is called inheritance and the degree by which progeny differs from the parents(variations).

The study is not specific for the gender of progeny whether it is a girl or a boy neither it focusses just on the dominant genes rather it encompasses all of these phenomena along with the pattern of expression, segregation, and assortment of genes.
