The promise and goal of molecular genetics research and tests is to find genes that influence traits, such as sexual orientation, body weight, and extraversion, and to further inspect the mechanisms that dictate gene expression.

1. Organisms' varied offspring compete for survival.
2. Certain biological and behavioral variations increase their reproductive and survival chances in their environment. 
3. Offspring that survive are more likely to pass their genes to ensuring generations.
4. Thus, over time, population characteristics may change.

Molecular Genetics research can provide genetic tests that can reveal specific diseases or disabilities in unborn embryos. 
2. All offspring that survive are most likely to pass their genes to other generations resulting in a population change over time. 
3. The adaptive flexibility of humans and other animals in different environments contributes to the ability to survive and reproduce.
