The three major divisions of genetics are transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and population genetics. Transmission genetics examines the principles of heredity; molecular genetics deals with the gene and the cellular processes by which genetic information is transferred and expressed; population genetics concerns the genetic composition of groups of organisms and how that composition changes geographically and with the passage of time. Model genetic organisms are species that have received special emphasis in genetic research; they have characteristics that make them useful for genetic analysis.
