Genetics – 28-color Overhead Transparencies with Descriptions and Worksheets

Genetics – 28-Color Overhead Transparencies with Descriptions and Worksheets

Product Description

Pack of 28 color overhead transparencies (for projector) in approximately A4 size, containing over 130 vividly colored photographs and carefully drawn illustrations (each transparency contains several photos or drawings that are thematically related).

In addition to the descriptions on each transparency, a text with a discussion of the topic and task worksheets for photocopying are included. Genetics and the directions of its development are topics you are likely to encounter in everyday life. It is valuable to understand the debates between supporters and opponents of applying certain genetic research results in practice. It is also useful to know which of these results—particularly in medicine—some of us await with impatience.

Fundamental knowledge of genetics is today essential for every educated person. While acquiring it you can learn, among other things, why today’s domestic cattle bear little resemblance to their slender ancestors, but you will also learn that the ominous-sounding phrase 'modifiable variation in plants and animals' is their natural way of surviving.
