Understanding the Human Genome (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780766099333)

Completed in April 2003, the Human Genome Project was an international effort to map out and read all the genes that make up Homo sapiens. This book supports the Next Generation Science Standards on heredity and biological evolution by examining the history of genetics and the Human Genome Project, the mechanisms behind heredity, and the types of genetic errors that lead to hereditary diseases. Through simplified explanations of complex scientific concepts, full-color images, and informative sidebars, students will also learn about the ethical issues associated with the program as well how the information gained from the research has given rise to individualized medical tests and treatments.
