Genetics is concerned with the study of inheritance, which involves the passing of genetic traits from parents to offspring, as well as the variation that occurs within and between populations. This includes the study of genes, chromosomes, and genetic material. Option B is incorrect because it refers to specific types of genetic mechanisms, whereas genetics as a field is more broad. Option C is only a part of the genetic process of gene expression, and option D refers to specific types of cells. Option E is a part of the genetic process, but not a comprehensive definition of genetics as a field.
