Science in Focus: Genetics

Product Description

Science in Focus is a broad-based science series that answers these questions and many more. It gives a clear introduction to curriculum topics and is an easy reference tool for research. The clear, well-written text is generously illustrated with large colour photographs and diagrams. Fact and History boxes extend the information, and Evidence boxes suggest practical investigative activities.

Genetics explores one of the fastest-growing areas of science with topics that affect us all, such as:
* what DNA fingerprinting is and why it is carried out
* is genetic engineering safe, and could 'designing life' bring untold benefits or massive trouble
* how researchers are tackling genetic diseases, and the growing use of bio-engineered medicines.
