<yes but genetics is just the plural>

Not really. 'Genetic' is an adjective, while 'genetics' is a noun referring to (loosely) the study and/or techniques of matters involving genes. In this sense, the term 'genetics' functions like 'mathematics' - a mass noun that encompasses a broad spectrum of disciplines and endeavors involving a common focus (genes or numbers).
