This week’s genetics quote is from DNA Is Here to Stay by Frances R. Balkwill.
What exactly does DNA look like? We’ll unravel the DNA thread from one of the chromosomes. Pretend you’ve put on some magic glasses that can magnify everything 50 million times. (That would make a grain of sand look as big as a mountain!) Now you can easily see a thread of DNA and discover its most important secret.
Balkwill has also written Have a Nice DNA. I’ll pull a quote from that next week.
