What is the study of genetics called?

Genomics
Biochemistry
Evolution
Morphology

The correct answer is: Genomics

Genomics is the study of an organism's genome, including their genes and how they function. This is different from biochemistry, which focuses on the chemical processes within living organisms. Evolution, on the other hand, is the study of how species change and evolve over time. Lastly, morphology is the study of the form and structure of organisms. While all of these fields of study may involve genetics to some extent, only genomics specifically focuses on genetics as a whole. Therefore, the answer A Genomics, is the most accurate choice for the question.
