Explanation:

Genetics and Genomics are two terms that are used commonly in molecular biology but mean entirely different things.

Genetics is the study of individual (single) genes and their role in genetic inheritance i.e. heredity while Genomics is the study of all the genetic composition of an individual (genome) and how they interact with one another and their environment.

Based on the explanation above,

- the study of individual gene is classified as GENETICS

- study interactions between many genes is classified as GENOMICS

- study of DNA, which contains all the genes of an individual is classified as GENOMICS

- sequencing the genome of organisms is classified as GENOMICS.

- control of gene expression is classified as GENOMICS because it involves expression of information in the genes, which is a branch of genomics called functional genomics

- observing mutant effects across the genome is classified as GENOMICS
