    Your Genes Genetic inheritance was thought to have involve the transmission of DNA from one generation to the next affected by occasional mutations in the DNA itself. They found out that the human genome was less complex and had less genes then even less complex organisms such as plants. The human genome‚ only containing about 30‚000 genes‚ now lead scientists to believe that other factors allow genes to be switched on and off in response to the environment.
