Learning is fun with this entertaining and informative book about
genetics. Forty-six illustrations are accompanied by easy-to-read
captions explaining that genes are "chemical instructions" necessary for
living things to stay alive and reproduce.
Perfect for kids ages 8 and up, this book describes what genes control
and how they are passed along from one generation to the next, genes and
DNA, genes and proteins, genes that turn on and those that turn off,
genes that protect us from harmful bacteria and viruses, and genes that
scientists transfer from one kind of living thing to another.
