By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: London : Cassell, 2019.Edition: 1Description: 192 pages : color illustrations ; 25 cmSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • 576.5 HAR-S
Contents:
Secrets in the bloodlines -- Secrets in the genes -- What genes do -- The genetic code -- Passing on genes -- Laws of inheritance -- Beyond Mendel's laws -- Variation -- Mutation -- Evolution -- How we can read DNA -- How we can manipulate genes.
Summary: "The Secret Life of Genes is the story of genetic science and how it makes each of us unique. It spans the discovery of the gene and the all-encompassing role it plays in biology: from controlling the inner workings of cells and the development of embryos, through patterns of inheritance, to the evolution of new forms of life. From there developed the vast and boundless field of genetic science and research."--
