Heredity and genetics

Summary

"Engaging language and detailed, colorful images, charts, and diagrams break down complicated scientific principles into pieces of information students can comprehend more easily to help them answer the question, "How are traits passed down from parent to offspring?" Readers will learn how genetic variation results from gene mutations and sexual reproduction, as well as how asexual reproduction works, which will allow them to understand how an organism's functions depend on its specific gene structure."--, Provided by publisher
