Series Review: Understanding Genetics"College-track students will find these meaty surveys just the ticket. The books provide information about codons and anticodons, gametes, alleles, and phylogenetic "domains," and give a detailed picture of the development of the science of genetics and our current understanding of genetic mechanisms...Illustrations include helpful charts, microphotos, portraits of scientists, and color photos; extensive back matter provides plenty of support for further research."
--School Library Journal
"These hi/lo resources, with liberal use of color illustrations, color sidebars, subsections labeled in bold color fonts, and patterns of chemical bonds as backgrounds, will appeal to less able and reluctant readers... Overall, this series with its clear explanations and organization, is a good resource for the struggling reader."
