Description: Explains why DNA, a giant molecule of the cell's chromosomes, is the basis of growth and reproduction and the mechanism for transporting heredity specifications from one generation to the next. (Biologh series), Dr. George W.

Illustrated with photomicrography, animation and models.

Complete Record: , Explains why DNA (deoxyribonucleic cid), a giant molecule found in the chromosomes, is believed to be the controlling agent for growth, reproduction, and the mechanism for transmitting hereditary specifications from one generation to the next. Uses photomicrography, animation, models, and a discussion between Dr. George Beadle and two high school students to develop the concetps and stress the importance of DNA., , NOTE: Two (or more) records have been merged together to create this data.
