Product Description

The principles of genetics - classical and modern are presented in this book in a cartoon format. Anecdotes about how the ancients tried to explain sex determination and inheritance abound, making the learning of the concepts of Mendel's Laws, mutations, DNA, genetic diseases, gene splicing as well as sex determination and inheritance, easier to understand. The complexities of the subject are presented in an unintimidating way that is accessible to students of all levels, as well as the lay man to whom science is a hobby.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Way To Teach The World About Genetics, 25 July 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cartoon Guide to Genetics (Paperback)

This book is very cute, funny, and yet educational. I recommend this book to people who wants to know genetics without having to read "too much science". I personally, buy this book for my family and my boyfriend, to let them know what kind of field I'm interested in (I'm an undergraduate University of Indonesia student, studying genetics).
