The 258 signed entries are alphabetically arranged and discuss topics such as inheritance, from Mendel to the present; genetic diseases, and how genes influence various disorders; biotechnology, with an emphasis on lab techniques used in many high school classes; ethical, legal and social issues, including genetically modified foods and cloning; history of genetics; and careers. About 300 color illustrations support the text.
