along the lines of biology and chemistry. While researching various courses‚ I came across genetics‚ which was of great interest to me‚ finding out that the course included aspects such as cell mutation‚ the studying of chromosomes‚ and the behavior of micro-organisms. These topics genuinely sparked my interest in the field. Hearing the words ’DNA’ and ’genes’ in the news is no longer foreign to our ears; genetics underpins much of the news we hear about scientific advances. I have always been interested
