"In ancient times, people had no idea how or why it was that children resembled their parents. These days we know that characteristics like height and eye color are passed along in families through the genetic code. Our understanding of genetics has fundamentally changed medicine, agriculture, and even crime solving! Genes & Genetics will tell you everything you need to know about those tiny but powerful things called chromosomes."--Provided by publisher.
