Description
Deanne thinks the study of genetics is cool; I think it's confusing. Whichever you believe to be true about the topic, this book is written for you. If you think the topic of genetics is cool, you will like the history timeline, the fun activities and experiments, and comic-strip illustrations for some of the concepts. If this topic confuses you, then you will like the clear explanations, the simple yet helpful illustrations, and the progressive content that builds sequentially on previous chapters. Chapters include the the titles Code of Life, Gregor Mendel, Looking Inside the Cell, DNA , Genes and Chromosomes, Sex Cells and Meiosis, Sending Messages (information passed on through DNA), Gene Mutations, and Genetic Advances . The glossary will be a help to everyone who uses this book and the touch of humor will keep it interesting. 120 pgs, pb. ~ Donna
