A molecular biologist has to handle both the departments.

They're all prestigious and academically challenging.
All 3 have an integral role in numerous studies. For example, trying to find efficient biochemical batteries - such as in using bacterial fuel cells - involve all disciplines. You need biochem to figure out which metabolic process of the bacteria will be most efficient. Genetics would be used to determine which genes need to be activated the most in the bacteria (that is, the ones in the most efficient pathway). Finally, molecular biology would be employed to manipulate those genes and increase their rates of expression.
They're all so intimately entwined that you can't really say which one is the best of the three. Furthermore, trying to decide which one is most prestigious counteracts the aim of science - to further knowledge through cooperation - since it inherently pits scientists of different specialties against one another.

Genetics..this is because genetics is an upcoming field in the world of biology and is highly relevant in decoding our human dna and our genetic code.
