Answer 1

The discoveries in genetics have been awarded many Nobel prizes. This is because of several reasons. The study and knowledge of genetics have guided the living system understanding in a way.

The species similarities and the differences between different groups of animals were clearly understood with the concept of inheritance. It helped in grouping the living organisms into several classes and phylum.

The study of genetics also has helped in constructing the possible drug designs, which may help to combat a disease effectively. The gene expression and structures helped in the drug synthesis.

The species diversity and stability is also well explained and understood because of genetics. The concept of inheritance of genetic traits helped in the better understanding of the similarities in the species.

The genetics has aided in a lot of other studies and thus, provides a universal framework and understanding of biological processes. Therefore, the options that can be selected are (b), (c), (d) and (e).
