Genetics is important because it plays a key role in determining an individual’s physical traits, susceptibility to diseases, and response to treatments. Understanding genetics helps in predicting and preventing genetic disorders, as well as in developing personalized medicine for individuals based on their genetic makeup. It also aids in the study of evolution, population genetics, and the inheritance of traits across generations.

It helps in diagnosing and treating genetic diseases, eg diabetes, hemophilia.
