   Genetics
   The study of how particular traits are passed from parents to children. Identifiable genetic information receives the same level of protection as other health care information under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Of note for genetic researchers, the rule defines 'identifiable' information to include information from the individual as well as relatives. Thus researchers considering whether to de-identify data should review the definition of de-identified information closely.

   Genetics
   Genetics are those biological characteristics we inherit from our birth parents, and those universal innate abilities that humans share with each other. Humans inherit 23 pairs of chromosomes from male & female parent. 23rd pairing determines sex. XX = female. XY = male. Chromosomes contain our genes (10-20K in each chromosome), which create protein, needed to build our bodily structures/functions. A gene contains our biological blueprint in terms of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA holds the body's protein building instructions, or bases (A, T, C and G). The results of which make us 99.9% similar, but 0.1% different. Psychology sees this 0.1% in terms of our individual differences (intelligence, atypical behaviours, and (possibly) personality).

    `Genetics` is the science of heredity and variation in living organisms. ISBN 0-7167-3520-2. 854 pages. ISBN 0-7637-1511-5. Knowledge of the inheritance of characteristics has been implicitly used since prehistoric times for improving crop plants and animals through selective breeding. However, the modern science of genetics, which seeks to understand the mechanisms of inheritance, only began with the work of Gregor Mendel in the mid-1800s. A...
