Ross

I believe the answer is:

genetics

'the study of heredity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for genetics that I've seen before include "Branch of biology" , "Study of inherited characteristics" , "Science of heredity" , "The scientific study of heredity" , "The study of biological heredity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
