Pharmacy is related to health sciences. A pharmacists job is to prepare, mix compound or dispense drugs and medicines, ointment, pills, on the prescription of medical practitioner. Genetics, study of genes. To choose it as your career option you must develop deep knowledge in this field. It is further bifurcated into two, plant and animal genetics which again require deep practical knowledge. for choosing a career in genetics you must be familiar with extracting DNA, then purifying it, observing, gene editing, extracting DNA of interest. Overall, it requires subject specialisation in genetics which could only be achieved after having Masters degree in any of the subject of life Science. I still remember that backbreaking day when we started our practical in the presence of our professor. He told us just to extract DNA of Moringa, we took whole day after carrying out lot of exercise it was 5 p.m. in the evening when we observed our result on UV illuminator and could not find even a single orange band (which shows presence of DNA). So, this happens sometimes. If you seriously want to proceed with genetics as your career, you should widen your practical knowledge.
