Genes and DNA - the DNA of You!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kingfisher Knowledge: Genes and DNA (Hardcover)
Genes and DNA is a book that explores the world of this science. Readers can learn many things, from how genes are passed down through generations, to the DNA of any human body, and to DNA cloning.One very interesting section of the book is titled, "Nature or Nurture?" This section is about whether something happens naturally, or if it is made to. For example, Are sumo wrestlers naturally fat, or do they do something to make them fat? Can your blood type be changed? Another section explains the research of DNA since the 1800s. It describes some of the first scientists who discovered DNA and how they did. Genes and DNA is truly a fantastic book and everyone should read this to discover the fascinating facts of our world and science.

Full of great info, but...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Genes and DNA (Kingfisher Knowledge) (Paperback)
I found this book was an ok resource for my children when they had questions on DNA & genes, but it's full of the same old garb that evolution is truth instead of a theory, Since when was this a proven fact? Um, Never!
