dna

Explores the foundations of human biology: structure, genetics, and diseases.

Explores how and why gene editing was developed, how the technology works today, and how the technology will be advanced in the future.

". . . nonfiction picture book about Rosalind Franklin, the groundbreaking chemist who helped discover the structure of DNA . . ."--Provided by publisher.

"This book explains genetic theory, what genes are, why DNA plays an important role and what all these insights have to do with a curious monk. An exciting journey through the history of science, present-day genetic research and engineering and right through to the question of identity--because who would have thought how much of our personality is defined by our genes and how interesting genes can be?"--Provided by publisher.

"This in-depth volume takes readers into the microscopic world of DNA and RNA. Difficult topics are explained in manageable language and with the aid of diagrams. Topics include transmission, transcription, recombinant DNA, GMOs and more"--Provided by publisher.

This compelling text examines evolution, its definition, and the scientific evidence that evolution has taken place. Readers explore the concepts of natural selection, Darwin's Origin of Species, genetics and evolution, population genetics, patterns in evolution and species concepts, the story of life and geological time, and human evolution. Easy-to-follow narratives offer students additional biological information in sidebars, such as "Closeup" boxes that give details about main concepts and "Try This" boxes that provide safe experiments for readers to perform. The text serves as a must-have resource on modern thinking about evolution and the history of evolutionary theories.

"A . . . rhythmic nonfiction picture book that introduces readers to the concept of DNA, and celebrates the similarities we share with all life forms--and each other!"--Provided by publisher.

Looks at the world of genetics, focusing on six-toed cats, stickleback hips, zombie genes, and other topics.

In rhyming text, illustrates through the concept of DNA how we are all part of the human race.

"This . . . chapter book biography chronicles the . . . life of Rosalind Franklin, a scientist who played a key role in the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA"--Provided by publisher.
