Description

Have you ever wondered why you look the way you do?

Why are some people tall or short? Why do we have different eye colors? This colorful graphic novel helps to answer these questions by outlining the concepts of traits and heredity through colorful illustrations and characters.

Readers will learn about how their genes and DNA determine their unique traits.

They'll meet dominant and recessive alleles, hybrid cows, twoheaded snakes, and Gregor Mendel himself.

These characters, along with engaging graphics, will support readers in understanding how cells grow, change, and pass down traits via reproduction.

Readers will be invited to consider genetic variation, mutations, hybrids, and environmental influences on heredity.

Extend the learning with the Are You Nature or Nurture? activity included in this text. You can explore more about the science behind plants and animals by checking out the Building Blocks of Animals and Plants series!
