Morphology

biogenetics = genetics (transparent) = bio + genetics

The word transparently combines bio- with genetics to mean genetics relating to living organisms.

Etymology

Biogenetics combines bio- meaning 'life', like in biology, with genetic from a root meaning 'to give birth' or 'create', the same root you see in generate and generation. So, biogenetics is the study and use of genes in living things, showing how genes are made and passed on and helping medicine and farming.
