Tiny Science: Genes and DNA Summary

Tiny Science: Genes and DNA by Anna Claybourne

Tiny Science - giving MINI-scientists MAXIMUM understanding of the MICROscopic - get to grips with our amazing genes!

A fun and visual series exploring the science of things we cannot see with the naked eye, zooming right in on the itty-bitty creatures, objects and machines that have an enormous impact on us and the world around us. Perfect for children keen to get up-close to the building blocks of our world.

Tiny Science: Genes and DNA places our genes UNDER THE MICROSCOPE to find answers to GENE-ius questions, such as ...

- Is DNA really written in code?
- How does cloning work?
- Am I honestly related to broccoli?

It's time to explore the infinitesimal!
