Genetics explains how living things pass on characteristics from one generation to the next. This book introduces young readers to modern genetics, from Gregor Mendel's study of pea plants to the cloning of Dolly the sheep. It also explores how mutations cause genetic diseases, the role genes may play in curing diseases, and the use of DNA fingerprints to identify criminals.
