The science inside
- Evolution & Adaptation
- Cells & Microbiology
- Scientific Discovery & Careers
Your child will meet:
- DNA stores hereditary information, and genes are regions of DNA that contribute to biological traits and functions.
- Organisms can carry different versions of a gene, helping produce inherited variation.
- Gregor Mendel used repeated pea-plant crosses and counted offspring patterns to model inheritance.
- Genetic knowledge can inform medicine, agriculture, and conservation without making genes the sole cause of every outcome.
Use it this way
