Rauf, Don,
Inheritance and variation of traits / Don Rauf. - 80 pages : color illustrations, portraits (some color) ; 24 cm. Hardback book - Heredity and genetics .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The genesis of genetics -- The fundamentals of inheritance -- Predicting the odds -- Going beyond Mendel's Laws -- Cell reproduction: passing on genetic info -- Reproduction leads to genetic variation -- Linkage: genetic travel companions -- Genetic engineering: the pursuit of a better world.
"She has her mother's eyes. He has his father's nose. People, animals, and plants inherit traits from their parents through their genes. Variations and new combinations of genes create the differences that make each individual unique. Through simplified explanations of complex scientific concepts, full-color images, and informative sidebars, this book supports the Next Generation Science Standards on heredity and inheritance of traits by discussing how genes are passed on through the generations, how variations occur, and how these genetic changes can help humans and other populations survive. A Further Reading section with current books and websites and a bibliography encourage further exploration of the subject."--
