I Don't Know, My Young One Knows

Crash Course in Genetics!

Did that thick-haired man go bald after marriage? Do you blame your bald father-in-law for this? No no, don't blame the man. The person responsible for this is your mother-in-law!

Also, don't brag too much about your blue eyes! This is caused by the lack of a strange thing called melanin. Also, the color of your eyes is not blue; It's just that the light entering your eyes is refracted, scattered, and appears blue to others.

Although the words gene and genetics may seem scary at first, do not worry... This book is not just about concepts such as deoxyribose, genome, Atcgatcga, mRNA, autosomal chromosome. So put down your preconceptions slowly and take a look inside the book. Katie McKissick explains all this genetic complexity in a humorous way and creates a very entertaining yet full science book. It invites you to a journey in the world of genetics to unravel the mysteries of hereditary traits such as red hair, left-handedness, back hair, and straight hair.
