This book explores how DNA carries the genetic code that embodies our very being, defining who we are, from our physical attributes to our inherited predispositions. The author, a molecular biologist, discusses how scientists have discovered that the building blocks of DNA - four chemical units - combine in sequences of three to create `words` carrying genetic information. The order of these words determines how these units assemble to form molecules, and, in turn, how molecules assemble to form us. The text explores how this code is copied during cell division and how the resulting errors, or mutations, drive evolution. Providing a concise and entertaining look into the origins of life on Earth, this book shows how DNA is not only the key to our genetic inheritance but also to understanding the history of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
