The beginning of genetics lies in prehistoric times. Already in the 4th millennium BC, man understood that some traits are passed on from one generation to another. By selecting certain organisms from natural populations and crossing them with each other, mankind created improved breeds of animals and varieties of plants that possess the properties necessary for man.

Heredity ensures the constancy and diversity of life forms and is the basis for the transmission of hereditary traits. Thanks to heredity, some species (for example, the coelacanth fish, which lived in the Devonian period) have remained almost unchanged for millions of years.
