Genetics, 2 Volume Set

To fully understand the complex subject of genetics it is important to know something about cells, chromosomes and DNA as all living things are made up of cells - the basic building block of life. A human body contains millions and millions of cells. Genetics allows us to understand how many medical conditinos, such as thalassaemia, are passed on within families. Blood tests and genetic investigations can help us determine whether an individual has the disease or is a carrier. Our improved understanding of causes of a condition may even raise the possibility of future gene-based therapies that may offer a cure.

This book fully investigates this complex subject.

Pentru a intelege pe deplin subiectul complex al geneticii, este important sa stim ceva despre celule, cromozomi si ADN, intrucat toate fiintele vii sunt formate din celule - elementul de baza al vietii. Un corp uman contine milioane si milioane de celule.
