Well, now that you have learned all about genetics, you may be thinking, "Now,

what is important about all this I learned?". If you are thinking this, you

may be interested in this section.

Genetics is an interesting science. If you frequently watch the news, you

would know that scientists are always discovering new things about it. If you

have read about genetics' history, you would know that Mendel's peas are one

example,

and in fact, that was probably the first "breaking news in genetics". But now, lets

move along to the more modern times. Ever since the 80's and even the early

70's

we have been doing some things in genetics like curing diseases, or something

else...cloning! You may know

of such things on TV, like when they make one animal look exactly the same as

another. The way cloning is done on animals(At this time, cloning has not been

done on humans) is basically by looking at the genes in one, and then passing

the exact same genes to another of its type. Cloning isn't that simple,though, and

you may have to go to some advanced genetics site to know everything about it. I

could talk forever about all the discoveries in genetics, because it is changing

every day.
