Publisher's Synopsis
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is genetic material that is inherited from both parents or it can be termed as the Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Cells. DNA tests, also known as genetic tests, can identify mutations in genes, chromosomes, and proteins. These mutations can indicate the presence of a genetic condition, or the risk of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. This book explains the basics of DNA, including how to use DNA tests to determine a person's parents, find the guilty party, check for hereditary illnesses, and more.
