SynopsisGenetics For Dummies is an introduction to genetics, including cells and DNA of both people and animals, and how they effect who you are and what you do.

It includes sections on basic genetics; genetic mutations, diseases, and evolution; insights into scientific discoveries such as cloning and genetic engineering; gene therapy and other new and controversial medicines; and the exploration of ethical issues and the future of genetic science.
