Studying genetics has given us the mechanism by which evolution works, on the most basic level.
DNA
In biology, the study of hereditary or heredity is called Genetics. This field of science deals with the study of genes, evolution and how genes are transmitted from one generation to the other.
Molecular genetics
By selective breeding.

" Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. " Quoted from a great man who was instrumental in the new synthesis ( the Neo-darwinian synthesis--where I take my user name from ) by his contributions to the understanding of genetics and how it applied to natural selection. Google the above quote to find out who said this. Without an understanding of evolution and the theory that explains much of evolution you might as well not study biology. That is the benefit of studying evolution.

It doesn't. Evolution is explained by population genetics, evolutionary theory.
